Thread for reporting SMS spam

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 have received this text message from +1 (778) 238-1578 I know is a scam

Hello Nurani1,

 

Welcome to the community!

 

  Thanks for the information! You're right, that message is most definitely SPAM. The providers are doing all that they can to prevent SPAM SMS. You can help by forwarding these messages to 7726 (SPAM) (see here). Once audited, it will be used to augment the SPAM filter. Unfortunately, as fast as these messages get blocked by the SPAM filter, the spammers/scammers find new ways to bypass the filter.

 

Hope this helps 😀

 

Cheers

I have been receiving texts to click on a web site which I can not link to Fido. I believe it is some kind of scam. Just warning folks to be aware.

I got a fido text message refund #32828637 for

overcharges on passed bills. Is this a scam? Because

I don't think fido would send me any money owed

via text message. Are other users getting these

kind of cryptic texts?

Hi,

 

I recently got this, this is scam? I clicked on the link and realised something must be wrong.
