The photos you see attached are what I JUST received on my phone as a text.

The link in the text led to an Interac e-Transfer that didn’t specify the name of the carrier and claimed it was for a charge they supposedly made, which I could not find on “My Account”. PLUS ... logically, PM would credit your account if that happened!

Beware of this!

Accept what? These aren't real. They don't pay you. The site is probably a bank look-alike trying to steal your password. Your account could get cleaned out.

Thanks 😊 


Good eye !

Be vigilant...this time of year, the text and call pammers are very active.

Make sure you don't answer any calls unless you recognize the callers number. If it's a legit caller, they can leave a voicemail and you can then return their call.

I get this on my work phone (Bell) all the time. One time i actually entered bunch of crap as a username and passwrod to let them figure out lol. Good thing most seniors do not use interact and most young people do not belive right away.

Same here. Here's what you need to do:

  1. Report to the RCMP at http://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/reportincident-signalerincident/index-eng.htm
  2. WHOIS the domain and write an email to the designated abuse report address. The ICANN WHOIS showed that the abuse report email is abuse@namecheap.com so maybe you should report to there as well.

Here's the scam that occured to me, for reference:

There are a lot of these out there.  I surely hope people don't fall for them but I guess it only takes one for it to be worthwhile for the scammers.  My first clue beside everything like this being a scam would be the From Phone Carrier Billing  They don't want to list a carrier because they don't know who you are with lol.
