How do I block the address above from iMessage on my iMac? There is no phone number, only the address.
I only see it on my 19,1 iMac w iMessage. My two other devices do not show receiving it.
Its phishing. The contents reads :

Hello, sorry to bother you via text message. Do you like watching movies? Are you looking for a job?
We need 100 people over the age of 20 to work as movie evaluators. You will only have to work for about 1 hour a day, there is no time limit and you can organize your time as you wish. Before you start, I will give you a free 30-minute training session. At the end of the training, you will be paid between $50 and $200 for the training, and you will be paid at least $200 to $700 per day, easily over $8,000 per month! If you're interested in learning more, please contact me on WhatsApp: +13166009180


I cannot figure out how to block this address in iMessage. Anyone know how to completely block it further?

Thank you. I have always clicked on the circled "I" to block, but there was no blocking link in this item. However, I called apple and they told me to go to CONVERSATION iMessage headings. And there it is: Block Conversation. Also I was allowed to Block and Report Phishing. I'm always learning, it never stops.
