Hoax message circulating on BlackBerry Messenger

A hoax message circulating on BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) asks users to
forward on the BBM message to their contacts in order to maintain BBM
service, and claims to have been originally sent by Research In Motion
(RIM).

Rest assured that this BBM message did not originate from RIM and that it
does not impact the security of BlackBerry smartphones. It is simply a hoax
chain message. Unfortunately, many social networking applications face this
scenario, whereby any message, including a hoax message, can be forwarded to
a user from one of their contacts. We recommend that users simply ignore the
message and do not forward it.


Ignore this message and do not forward it.
