Bell Customer Club

I received a text from 1-XXX-XXX-XXXX with the following message :

BeII customer cIub#: (my cell number was here)
Hi there! Your 2% reward of ($83.90) is ready to be cIaimed.
Reply (Y) for Yes

I don’t recall signing up for the Bell Customer Club. I know the Bell Customer Club is legitimate, but is this message a phishing scam?

Hello @47G2A 

This is undoubtedly a smishing text. 

Remember, we will never send you a direct text regarding bill corrections, credits, account or identification updates etc. and will never direct you to click on a 3rd party website or send account info via text etc.  When in doubt, always play it safe and never click any link.

Please forward the smishing attempt to 7726 (SPAM), delete the SMS and block the number for your security.

If you suspect that you have fallen victim to a smishing scam, don’t hesitate to contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centreto report it.

I personally received the invitation after lots of activities on the platforms, so u probably can ignore all the similar messages or even emails for a very long time.
