Prepaid VISA Card Promo Email Legitimate?

[Nightowl]

I signed up as a new Bell customer a couple of months ago. I received an email saying that I can redeem a $100 pre-paid VISA card from Bell linking to promoprepaidcard. bell. ca (spaces added). Is this legitimate?

The web link you have provided in your Post is not legitimate. Just treat it like Spam! Fraud, etc.

Bell does send an email message asking you to open a web link!

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

Take care.

Thank you so much for your reply and the useful links!

I forwarded the email the abuse@bell.ca and they quickly replied that it is actually legitimate. I guess when I signed up, I was entitled to the card as a sign-up bonus.

That is Great news!

Always remember, when in doubt, to check, double check & triple check. You did the right thing!. If unsure, do not open it up. Follow up & check it out.

These days, it sometimes is next to impossible to tell what is real or fake.

Remember to use the links I sent to you & forward them on to your friends! 

Take care.

I received the same email and link but the link does not work. I get an Error 400 Bad Request message. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
