    That's called spoofing. People can easily fake caller ID information, and the number that you posted has something included in it that is NOT something a call from North America will have. 

     

    Plus if a caller tells you to call back to any number that isn't an official Telus number, there is an extreme chance that it's a scam.

100% scam. The scammer didn't even fake Telus's toll free number correctly. That is not a Telus email. The 647-495 NXX is a set of numbers owned / controlled by Iristel, a well known VoIP provider for scammers targeting Canadians.

 

Do NOT give them any information.
