"We are aware of scam text messages being sent claiming to offer credits in the wake of yesterday's service interruptions," the telecom said Saturday on Twitter. Rogers-owned flanker brands such as Fido and Chatr also went offline, as did services not directly controlled by Rogers, such as emergency services, travel and financial networks. The company has about nine million wireless customers and just shy of three million on the cable and internet side of the business.
