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 the following text today. Is it spam? Usually my messages from fido are in English but I just added an additional phone so wasn't sure.  

 

From 902-984-1208

INFO FIDO:  Votre compete sera malheueuse desactive dans les prochains jour...

 

then a link to follows When I log to fido though it doesn't look like anything is up. I am assuming it is spam and will block once confirmed.

Welcome to the community @Kcmac71! I moved your post since we had a similar thread. Smiley

 

As for the text message, please ignore it. We will never send a text message to you from a 10 digit number. 



From a little while back, but I don't think I have forwarded this one previously...
