Is this SPAM fishing for a members account login info? Because if you do not read the email closely and enter your PM Account ID and PW  instead of the PM Community account login info. The spammer may have access to your account.

If you did this I would recommend changing your password immediately. One can't be too careful these days.

Not to worry -- I did not enter any info even though at first I did think that it may be a PM promotion. I did post the entire message  and hope the moderators will delete that account.

These unsolicited emails in your pm inbox should be reported to PM.

The OP posted what he found in his private messages. The OP is NOT one of the scammers.

Just my opinion. PM has covered how to handle and to have copy and pasted the unsolicited email into the forum, with URLs, was not a bright idea. 

[BEER]

Yes I just turned off all notifications --   thank you.

[darlicious · Accepted solution]

@BEER 

Did you get an email and a private message? The bf did because he never uses his community account so his default settings are on......all mine are off.... i visit everyday i dont need twice as many notifications bothering me when im offline.

@BEER Was it a private message or a text message? Anyone can sign up here and send you a private message. It has nothing to do with your cell phone number? Or do you mean something else completely?

---

I may be wrong - in addition to the private message I think that I also got a text message with the same offer.

@BEER See my reply above your last post.

Couldn't say it better HALIMACS !   cheers -

[Delman]

I received the same message. It is spam and safe to ignore.

[Stews]

No it's a fake phishing email or text.   Don't respond to any links within emails or texts and don't enter any personal information.  

[HALIMACS]

Hi @BEER   Beer is good.   Spam sucks.

I've proposed it before, I may as well again.  Community users who are sending these spam messages are likely NOT active Public Mobile account holders as the community is available to everyone.

If my suspicions are correct, limit the Community's Private Messaging services to active account holders only AND recent account holders (say, up to 90 days after porting to another provider or from last successful renewal date)

This way, prospective users could still use the Community to ask questions and learn, but they would be restricted from Private Messaging the rest of us who hold services with Public Mobile.

[kaytus]

It is spam email. don't click for the link

@BEER 

I got this exact message earlier.  I already reported.

https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Announcements/What-to-do-with-spam-in-your-Private-Me...

Too many of these spam messages recently.  Public mobile needs to do something to reduce these spam messages.  

[Triguy]

It is a spam email.  Report it to the moderators.

@BEER No it is not. Select report bottom left of message, type spam then submit. Then delete the message. No on is going to legitimately send you a PM here to offer something. The link isn't even at Public Mobile. There are lots of threads/messages about this recently.
