The URL at the bottom with .ru is a good indicator this is a smishing, phishing or fraudulent scam attempt.

Remember, we will never send you a direct SMS 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 SMS 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’m I received an email from Bell Canada today, asking me to answer 9 questions, which would make me eligible for a free gift (new phone, gift card, etc).  Is this legitimate?

Good Day & Welcome the The Bell Community Forum.

You have provided me with very little information. If you believe it to be legitimate, then call Bell Customer Service. beforehand to confirm this. Do not reply to this email!

This is just another example of Fraud.... pure fraud! Phishing, etc. etc. Remember one thing .... Do not give out anything to anyone you do not know or trust! Do not share personal information. Do not open links or messages in Emails or text messages!

Reputable companies such as Bell, banks, utilities & highly regarded services & institutions do not send you messages or make calls such as this! They do not call you asking to provide personal information. Hang up! Report the fraud! & Delete!

Caution is the better part of valor! STAY SAFE & BE CAREFUL!

Take care.
