Well, there are no texts from them, but the latest notification says. 

It starts off mentinoing Firefox and I did look at their page on Firefox
on the phone.  I opened Firefox but I have no idea where to look to see
any trace.... Okay I looked in tabs and found one from Coobox:  Precios
bajos con gar... (all that I can see).  Maybe that's directly relate to
the notification below.  At any rate there are 3 tabs from Coolbox that
I've deleted and though I don't see how a tab can generate
notifications, I'll see if that stops their notification.  Maybe the
host, Coolbox, knows I have a tab. 

Firefox - www.coolbox.pe - 28m

!Ofertas exclusivas en tienda
Ven por tus audifonos y parlantes Bluetooth con los Precios Locura !Te
eesperamos [sic]!

Then there's anothe r9 minutes earlier. 

And I guess somehow it stopped showing those from earlier days. Maybe I
accidentally deleted them.
