Received a text message supposedly from Revenue Canada regarding an Interac money order coming to me. Asked to log into a spoof site that wants to capture banking info and password.

 

Apparently this modus operandi is also being used to scam Telus Mobility customers for a supposed refund of overcharge.

 

Sender is 999-999-9999. Would be best to block that number.

As an added measure, forward scam texts to 7726 (SPAM).

 

And how do you forward a text to 7726 (SPAM) to report the issue.
On my iphone ios15.X I see no option to do that from the list of texts or from the details of the text

Press and hold on the body of the text message. A menu will appear, select ‘More…’ At the bottom of screen, there should be a trash can on the left and a forwarding arrow on the right. Select the spam message by placing a checkmark next to it. Tap the forwarding arrow. This brings you to the New Message screen.

Enter 7726 in the “To” field and forward the message. You do not need to add the word (SPAM), 7726 spells SPAM.
