The Government's teaming up with the private sector to get on top of text scams.

When people report scam texts as junk on some phones, text messages will soon go directly to the Department of Internal Affairs.

It can then share the info with telcos so they can be blocked.

Rush Digital founder and chief executive Danu Abeysuriya told Andrew Dickens we have to work together to solve this problem.

He sees it as a good approach because if you get a few reports of spam, thousands of further texts can be blocked.
