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

Got this message in an SMS from +17094260578
(10001) Fido Mobile (289)*** ****
Here is your refund: fidomobile-support.com0.
Thing is Fido actually owes a refund so I clicked on link and took me to a fido page then redirected to an interac page, asked for security questions etc and then said an error occured.
I have since changed my password and security questions.
Just thought to send to the forum and sensitize people as well

Hi
I got a message from +18192387023 yesterday saying that, " An overcharge has been made on your past bills. See invoice 1345.online to claim your reimbursement of $63.53. Fido#0321"
Is this a spam message?

I have received one message from the number 438-409-6525 regarding some refund. It says
Fido-Solutions INC.
DEAR Customer,
Please confirm the link to claim your refund from FIDO. Visit: http://159.89.203.40
Sending apologies.
Is it a legit message or its a scam?

Hello. I just received a bogus phishing text message from 1-267-782-3391, pretending to be FIDO.
The text says "(FIDONOTICE)" followed by "http://bit.ly/2YuivC" which redirects to the following website:
It looks clearly like a bogus version of the Fido site and is asking me to enter my banking details to receive a "refund".
I know this is obviously bogus but wanted to bring it to your attention, to prevent other, more naive customers from being scammed this way!

I just received a text from 'FIDO', to follow the link regarding being over-charged. Sorry, I blocked the number before taking a screenshot so the text disappeared, but the text was from the following phone number:403-607-0671 (I tried google searching the number first, so it was still in my history).

Hey @imrock18,
Thanks for giving everyone a heads up! You can also send any SMS spam you receive to the number 7726 (SPAM) to submit the messages to be audited and potentially blocked from the network if confirmed to be spam if this ever happens again.
Cheers!

Please help, why did I receive a message claiming to give cash back form FIDO.
