Hello,
I have been forwarding my spam email-to-SMS to @FidoStephen via PMs to help improve the spam filter for sms.fido.ca
Recently, another community member also posted a similar spam SMS they received. Perhaps a thread dedicated to collecting examples of these types of SMS spam might also help improve the spam filter.
Thoughts?
Cheers
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hey @Latenitebby ,
Thanks for flagging this! It's definitely a scam as we'd never ask you to update any information this way.
Take a look at this blog post right here to see what the next steps should be .

Hi @4101may!
Welcome to the Community!
Thanks for flagging this, that message is indeed a scam.
We will never send a text message to you from a 10 digit number. You can delete it, I've just reported the number
Thanks again and great job on catching this!

Hi Folks,
My daughter received an sms on her Fido Phone sent from 204 area code (masked number of course) asking her to re-enter her login credentials because her account was locked. As such with any inexperienced teenager, she tried several times....LOL.
In the SMS has an embdded link, when u click on it, u are brought to a webpage that has the look n feel of the current fido.ca site. If you look closely at the URL, you will notice that it is not the standard www.fido.ca but some variation like wwv.fido.ca
Pass the word out to your friends and family.
Cheers,
SilentB.

Hey @bridgkick
Thanks for the heads up! You're right we should not click on it! I also suggest you report these types of incidents to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre right here :
