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.

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?

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?
