I keep getting messages purporting o be from Bell telling me to update something or other or else my email will be cut off. They look convincing but there are so many scams going on that I don't want to open any attachments. What to do?

[MarthaR]

I am getting a message from Powered by Bell. They tell me: "You are still using the old Email Account security settings.

To avoid service interruptions and delays in outgoing / incoming mails, please use the maintenance portal below to switch and automatically enable your new Bell email account settings." There is a link here and below:

"Failure to comply within 24 hours may result in permanent deactivation.

It sounds very strange... Is it spam?

Thanks

Here are screenshots of 3 messages that were in my inbox this week.  Annoying to receive.

I have a sympatico email and I have been getting HUNDREDS of emails saying my account needs to be upgraded, so I should "click here".  These emails are from accounts that might be Bell Canada, but not sure. Is Bell Canada actually upgrading sympatico and if so, do I need to do something at my end?

Fraud & Phishing… Do not open, do not click on links or reply! Delete, Delete, Delete!

received an email to update my webmail is this a scam

[Peter65]

I keep getting emails to my sympatico.ca account asking me to follow a link because my mailbox is being moved somewhere. Is this true? Many of the emails come from 'icloud' addresses, so I don't know if they are real. I've been sending most of them to phish@bell.ca, but have so far not received any confirmation as to whether they are real, or phishing attempts. What is happening?

@Received email today saying I am required to download upgrade in order to access email. Is this a legitimate email

[bjg]

I have now received this email twice from what looks like Bell but I'm not convinced it's not spam.  Can anyone confirm?

[bjg]

Image was not accepted.  Email states:

• Dear Bell User,  Users who have not updated their sympatico account will no longer be able to log in, If you do not want the new Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to apply to you, you will no longer be able to access your account from May 15th-2023.  You may obtain a copy of your data by clicking here.  (link marked "click here")  Thank you for your time and cooperation.  Bell Canada, 2023.  All rights reserved.

Keep getting emails from Bell Alliant to update my email account and that I have 5 emails to read. I thought I was Bell and not Alliant. Have treated these emails as spam.

[SO2]

Starting May 28, 2023, Bell email users that are yet to update their account will no longer be able to login due to the recent Bell upgrade. Download and access the attach PDF to login and update your Bell email.

Thank you in advance for your participation.

Scam! Bell would never send you a message asking you to open a pdf to verify your Email. Beware of phishing & malware. Report as junk & delete. Never open a link in an Email.

Caution is the better part of valour! Rather to be safe than sorry!
