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 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!

 

Cheers

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.

@Cawtau your phone number seems to be quite popular! I'm receiving these too, but not nearly as much as you...

 

Thanks again for posting these; we're doing our best to make this stop.
