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

I received this text this evening:
Fido Canada Solution:
http://fidopaylivei.com/
Collect your Refund!
Fido has overcharged your Account (96.76$)
The number associated with the text is 1 (418) 490-2763.
I figured it was spam and deleted the text.

do you, as a fido, send me a messenger message that you counted me too much by $ 93.54?

Hello Piotr1,
Welcome to the community!
Thanks for the information! That is most definitely a SPAM scam. You can copy and forward the message to 7726 (SPAM) for evaluation and hopefully added to the SPAM filter (see here).
Hope this helps
Cheers

I received a text from Fido saying that my account has been over billed in error and there is a refund, please click on this message. That took me to a website asking me to deposit online into a bank account. I stopped right there as I was'nt sure if Fido did really send the message. Upon checking my Fido account online, I don't see any such refund info. Did anyone else receive such text messages recently?

Received a text from 613-770-3179 saying the following:
Hey, due to an error occured in your last phone bill, Fido Solutions has sent you a refund of $74.50 CAD. Accept your funds here: http://refun6smanagem3nt.com/officielfichier/
Is this legit or a scam??

I got the same exact message from the same number yesterday. I believe it is a scam so I didn't want to click on the link. I'm reporting it to Fido.

Hey There,
I have rrecieved the dillow message from (289)8286731.
Important Mesasage from FIDO: We have sent you a refund of 7*.50$ CAD due to overcharge in your last bill. Claim your funds here: http://******/*****

How those scammers know about my bill amount and date of the payment?

Hey @sivakumarpadala,
These messages rarely have any accurate information and are usually random attempts. You can check into your balance information by logging into My Account or dialling *28 from your Fido mobile device.
As for this message though, I would suggest reporting it as SPAM by following the steps in the Accepted Solution above.
Hope this helps.

Hey @sivakumarpadala ,
I moved your post to this thread as it's super helpful!
The amount they put is random and not related to your account information, no worries.
Don't hesitate if you have any other questions
