Rogers Solution Refund

[Jonathan3440]

Hey, I know Rogers had a 100 visa gift card deal going on with my s8 preorder and I called yesterday about it and the guy on the phone said they haven't started sending them out yet but I got a message today but I can't tell if it's a scam link or not. Can anyone confirm?

The number is 905 866 9610 and the message reads


Rogers Solutions Refund! Collect your money at: ***LINK REMOVED FOR SECURITY PURPOSES***

***EDITED LABELS***

I received a text that says i received a refund from rogers.    Is this is a scam?   it looks legit.   its from rogers support mobile.com.   Hesitating to open it. 

[RogersMoin]

Hello, @lturek.

Welcome to Rogers Community Forums! 😀

You have posted your query in the right thread. If it sounds like a scam, then most likely it is. We don't send refund via text message; it would get directly adjusted on your bill. 

Please forward the suspected SPAM message to 7726 (SPAM), and they will be audited and then blocked from the Rogers network as a whole.

Thanks for your contribution and for your help in keeping the community a pleasant place to be.

Cheers,
RogersMoin

I received a text today from that claimed that Rogers overcharged me last month and they are sending me a refund which I have to claim through online banking. Is this legit or a scam?

[57]

@Acurt048 : This is a scam.  Rogers would simply credit your account.  If you look at this scam forum (to which your post may have been moved) you'll see other similar posts/threads.

Please forward the text to Rogers at 7726 (spam).  This way they may be able to prevent future scams from this source.

money return text from "rogers" (1-705-418-1510)

hi,

i received a text message from this number 1-705-418-1510 saying "(my rogers) you've got a money return this month! no payment required to see below (malicious link removed - RogersMoin)

is this legitimate? 

thanks, 

JD

rogers will never send you a text from a consumer number, they will always text you from a short code. and secondly, when you get a refund, its automatically credited to your bill, you never have to click a link or sign in, its a scham

[Soccermom416]

If you get a text from 400-14 or anything like that don’t answer!!! It’s. a scam. They say they’re from Rogers and they’ll have your information. Account and account balance and tell you it’s overdue. This is NOT Rogers. It’s a scam. Don’t answer!

[bogdanlazar]

Scam in the name of Rogers. "Money refunded by Rogers because of overcharge".

I have received today, October 7, 2019, three messages, from the phone number +1 (819) 471-7328, during an interval of about 10 minutes, all of them reading:

"Rogers#31596: Because of the overcharge made on your past bills, $63.53 has been refunded to you. Please claim it on bill286.online

18:56"

The other two message are identical except they start with different numbers, namely: Rogers#35086 and Rogers#310886.

This is the precise time of each message:

10/07/2019 19:16 $0.30 Incoming SMS
10/07/2019 19:09 $0.30 Incoming SMS
10/07/2019 19:06 $0.30 Incoming SMS 

Please block this number because it drains my "Pay as you go" card. The messages already cost me $0.9 and I am afraid they will keep coming.

This is the content of the site bill286.online:

@bogdanlazar :  Please forward the message to 7726 (SPAM).  You will then receive a response from Rogers saying that they will take care of it.

The next time you have a need to talk to PAYGo customer service, advise them of the spam calls and they will provide you with a credit. For $1 it's usually not worth your time to call in, but if you're talking to them about something else, it's worthwhile mentioning and getting the credit.

[bogdanlazar]

I reported the scam to 7726 and I received an automatic confirmation that they would take care of it. I have not received any more messages after the three I talked about in my previous post.

I have another question:

Sometimes I receive calls from Unknown. No phone number is displayed. Some of these calls do not come from spammers. In September 2019, Rogers sent me an SMS telling that, starting with the month of November, they would implement the Universal Call Blocking.

Question:

Will such a call, displayed as coming from "Unknown", be blocked?

I don't believe so. Here's the thread on that topic. It relates to numbers that don't meet the NA standard.

https://communityforums.rogers.com/t5/Scam-Phishing-Fraud-Discussions/CRTC-calls-for-universal-netwo...

block incoming calls that contain telephone numbers that do not comply with North American or International numbering plans e.g. 00000.

[bogdanlazar]

Today, October 8, 2019, I got a call from the number +1 (226) 894-4929 and a robot (a woman voice speaking english) told me that the call is from the federal department of justice, I believe, and ignoring the call is a serious crime. I ended the call.

This is again a scam but how can I report it because the number 7726 is just for SMS spam, not calls.

In my Rogers account, at View Call/Transaction History, the call is displayed without a number, like this:

10/08/2019 14:19 $0.50 Incoming Call

The number +1 (226) 894-4929 I can see only on the screen of my mobile phone.
