Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices that identify abusive mobile messages and associated abusive mobile communication device users are presented. A core network can comprise a message abuse detector component (MADC) that can selectively or randomly monitor or sample mobile messages communicated in the core network. The MADC can evaluate origination and destination address information and can identify abusive mobile messages and associated abusive mobile message senders based at least in part on the respective address information and predefined message abuse criteria. The MADC also can distinguish between spam mobile messages, subscription mobile messages, harassing mobile messages, and other mobile messages, and can identify and implement a desired response (e.g., automated response) to the abusive mobile message. To facilitate identifying abusive mobile messages, the MADC also can analyze history and reputation associated with the origination address, reputation of the address reporting an abusive message, message content, etc.

20. A system that facilitates reporting a mobile message and associated mobile message sender as abusive, comprising:
-
an abuse reporter component that is configured to receive information that indicates an abuse report is to be generated in relation to at least one mobile message received from an originating mobile communication device to indicate that the at least one mobile message is an abusive mobile message, and transmit the abuse report to a message abuse detector component (MADC), wherein the abuse reporter component is associated with a destination mobile communication device that is configured to receive the at least one mobile message from the originating mobile communication device; and an appeal component that is configured to receive information that indicates an appeal is to be generated in response to action taken by at least one of the MADC or an entity associated with the MADC in relation to at least one of the destination mobile communication device or the originating mobile communication device, and transmit the appeal to the MADC.
