Fido Text - Is it Legit?

[itat]

This morning I received the following text purported to be from Fido. It seems suspicious.

"(Message from Fido)
We apologize for the recent network outage. To make amends, we are providing you with a $50.00 CAD compensation fund. Respond Y to get deposit."

Did Fido actually send this text?

Good morning @itat , Fido would not send you a text like that. If you had a credit coming, it would be noted on your monthly billing. That is definitely a phishing scam. Great catch by the way. 😉 

You can report it to Fido spam by forwarding it by text to 7726

Thanks.
