Looks great but as I mentioned in my earlier replies, delete this! If it is too good to be true.... then please by all means forget my earlier advise & explain to me what you mean! Please reference @SundialMusic reply message earlier & pay particular interest to what he found!
How would the scammers benefit from this? Access to your devices, computers, accounts, impersonate you, add you to a phishing list, steal from you etc. etc.
I could give you a thousand reasons why not..... just give me one good reason why you would take the chance?
I can only hope you take my advise. Ultimately, the choice is yours..... not mine!
Bell will never ask you for any personal information via email such as passwords, PIN numbers, banking or credit card information.
I recommend that you click "Mark as spam" from webmail (when you log in from http://www.bell.net) this will ensure the team managing Bell email service will be aware of this specific spam campaign, can investigate and block it. You can also send a copy of that email to abuse@bell.ca
The most important part of fraud prevention is education and awareness. Knowing about the different types of fraud, how to identify fraud attempts and what they look like, along with what to do next if you suspect fraud are key to increasing your protection.
Here are some links that will assist you in preparing to combat fraud:

- What does fraud look like?
- Do you suspect fraud? What to do next?
- How to identify phishing or smishing

Fraud! Scam! If it is too good to be true, then it is not true!
Bell would never send you a message such as this in a personal email. Beware of phishing & malware. Report as junk & delete. Never open & reply to email ot text messages such as this. If there is a link, pdf or attachment do not try to view them.
Caution is the better part of valour! Rather to be safe than sorry!

Just received what looked like a Bell promotional email today...looked very legit. It even had the REAL bell customer care number featured in the email 1 888 845-XXXX. The promotion was allegedly allowing me a free upgrade to Fibe Gigabit.
I called the number, and the customer care rep helped me to identify this email as possibly fraudulent. First clue: the Gigabit service offered doesn't exist anymore... Bell upgraded the service to 1.5 Gbps from 1.0 Gbbps (download). The second clue: the email originated from, which I was assured was NOT an email associated with any Bell communications. I didn't click on any of the links for further help (MyBell, Shop, Find a Store, Support, Bell.ca....) and glad that I didn't as ALL of these links were prefixed by the phishing site. What I found weird was that the customer care number was actually legit, and that it came in handy to identify this email as fraud / phishing attempt.
Hopefully this helps others...thanks.

Hi, I just received the exact same email. But all the links go to the legit bell site, Also this email came from the same email I get all my other bell promo's from, so why would this be a scam?? If this is a so called scam, how exactly would the scammers be benefiting from this?
