Please click "Mark as spam" from webmail (when you log in from www.bell.net) - this will ensure the team managing the Bell email service will be aware of this specific spam campaign and can investigate & block it

Smells like a scam......they try to create a scenario of urgency to get you to click.  Just login to your Bell email using webmail www.bell.net and NOT the link in the email.  If Bell needs you to do anything.....you would get the notice from there.

Have received two emails today that look very suspicious, but claim to come from Bell mail.

Both have words to tap on for links.  Of course I have not.

One claims outgoing emails have been suspended due to my stepping past the line on outgoings allowed , the other just tells me to tap to upgrade my system.  
I am sure these are scams of some sort and posting here so people take a look before hitting any hidden links

Hi @BuckhornBilly. Thanks for your post, and welcome to the Community. 

We'd like to dig into this a little deeper. Can you please send a copy of that phishing email to abuse@bell.ca
