New Phone Number Suspended
Hello, I bought a brand new cell phone and a new number two days ago as the company I’m currently working for I will be leaving and they will be taking their cell phone and their number when I leave. Within less than 24 hours of getting my new number I changed all of my passwords and sign in codes for various banking and other information and I woke up the following morning and Telus had suspended my entire account and placed my brand new number on hold pending a fraud investigation. I’ve spoken to numerous TELUS representatives in the last 48 hours and I was informed that I had to resubmit proof of identity to a fraud email address from TELUS. I did that and have not heard anything back since and have followed up numerous times. I called a TELUS representative again this morning and all they could tell me was that there’s nothing they can actually do and then I just have to wait. Unfortunately I do not have time to wait and I need my new phone and number to be working.
Can you tell us please advise what exactly I need to do further to prove I am who I say I am and when this will be resolved. I really do not want to have to go to a different cell phone provider, but if I don’t see movement on this, you will force me to do so as I need a working phone.
