Thread for reporting SMS spam

[Cawtau]

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

Hi Folks,

My daughter received an sms on her Fido Phone sent from 204 area code (masked number of course) asking her to re-enter her login credentials because her account was locked.  As such with any inexperienced teenager, she tried several times....LOL.

In the SMS has an embdded link, when u click on it, u are brought to a webpage that has the look n feel of the current fido.ca site.  If you look closely at the URL, you will notice that it is not the standard www.fido.ca but some variation like wwv.fido.ca 

Pass the word out to your friends and family.

Cheers,

SilentB.

Hey @bridgkick

Thanks for the heads up! You're right we should not click on it! I also suggest you report these types of incidents to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre right here :

I received this text from 1-213-263-3682.  I didn't click on any links.  Went to my Fido account to see if I could get in or not.

Hello Maryb91,

  Welcome to the community!

  Thanks for forwarding the info! You were right not to click on anything.

  They come up with so many different variations on that domain name; that's one more for the spam filter!

From +1 206 946 9265, message from account-security.org stating that Fido deactivated my online profile and asking me to log in through link they provided. Obvious scam. Not really sure who and how to report this to, so posting it here.
