Scam Alert - Fake TELUS Promotion

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a scam attempt I experienced recently so others can be aware.

I received multiple calls on my secondary number (not the one I registered with Koodo). The caller had a thick accent and claimed to be from TELUS, offering me a new phone with a plan for $25 today and around $100 monthly. When I mentioned I already had a plan, they said they could cancel it and give me a 50% discount on the new one.

Some red flags:

• They called from several different numbers, including ones that showed up as Bell Mobility.
• After I hung up, they called back spoofing the official TELUS support number.
• I asked for details by email, and they sent me a poorly made PDF from [email protected] (not a TELUS domain).
• When I pressed them for an employee ID, they went silent and hung up.

Numbers they used (from my call log, excluding my local city hall and family):

• (905) 413-9107
• (403) 371-9417
• (780) 913-9291
• (866) 558-2273
• (905) 414-6316

This is clearly a scam — TELUS does not use third-party emails like @salesperson.net, and spoofing official numbers is a classic scam tactic.

If anyone else gets similar calls, do not give personal information, and hang up right away. Report the numbers to TELUS and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
