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

Did you get a chance to forward it to 7726 (SPAM) as well?
Just did.

Hello,
I just got a text message from the number +17092970485 saying : "FIDO Communications Partneship hassent you Interac E-transfer Refund Rewards, Please Accept or Decline the transfer below : http://fidomobility-rewards.com"
It looks very suspicious as Fido would inject any discount on my balance and not asking me to connect with my bank credentials.
I assume this is a scam but i just wanted to confirm and flag this trap.
Thanks

Hey @redbulldz,
Welcome to the Community!
I went ahead and moved your post in this thread here as it seems to fit well. You are correct in your assumptions and this message is not from us. If you can forward us this spam SMS to 7726, we'll make sure it gets to the right people to look into this.
You can also read more about these kinds of messages right here.

I received a txt msg that my online account was deactivated and that I have to go to http://www.validation-comptes.com/ to unlock it.
Please be aware of this, the site is not an official Fido website and it is most likely to be a phising scam.
thanks

Despite being very careful with not distributing my number to any Tom, **bleep** and Hary marketer -- I was surprised to see this text on my android device today.
Is it me or Android really has this darker side?
I had an iPhone for five years and never ever received such weird/phishing text.

I received this text last night. I assume it's fraud, as I don't see anything about Fido Rewards on the site.
"Fido Rewards: Fido Solutions has sent you an e-Transfer. Click here to deposit funds: bit.do/fidoemtfunds"
I assume I can just ignore and delete?

I have recieved a text message from 1-403-462-9061, letting me know that fido has an Entract e-Transfer of $40 for me. and gave me a link of bit.do/interacCAhKV2.
I am sure this is a spam.
