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.

Received text from Fido saying that my account is suspended due to security reasons. It quotes a number of 7789198765 which is not my number. Called it, mailbox full.
Called Fido but they're closed.
Anyone else get this?

Hello @Branimir45 Welcome to the community!
That is no doubt a spam text you can forward it to Fido by sending it to 7726 (SPAM). There is no charge for that and it will help Fido preventing these kinds of spam.

Hello Triscuit,
The messages you describe (and screen captures provided) are not SMS spam. They're pop-up advertisments. That's why they do not show in your messages. Here are a couple of websites (here, here, and here) offering suggestions how to block those types of pop-up ads.
Hope this helps
Cheers
