Why is Telus selling services to international criminals?
Repeated early-morning VISA scam calls from boiler rooms in India. This morning, I pushed the botton and spoke with "Sam". I gave him my usual advice about his pencil and what to do with it. ...

Nighthawk, re switch from Rogers to Telus and info on line: I'm sure you noted that this was exactly what I said earlier in the thread about Telus numbers showing on line as Rogers numbers.
For the rest, I think I did ask that I not be lectured orinstsructed in things I already know. Can we be done now?
I should have known that the urge to defend giant corporations against those who dare to question their business practices is something that some people are unable to resist.

Be done? Sure. Let's simplify this then. You cannot verify who owns the phone numbers. (Ontario? Likely Bell or Rogers if not one of many VoIP providers.) You do not have Telus as a service provider. Contact your service provider in order to deal with incoming scam calls. The CRTC has requried that Canadian providers have some countermeasures to deal with these type of calls. Call control was Telus' answer and it's very effective.
Oh, I can make it much simpler than that.
I did not ask to be instructed, lectured at, patronized or condescended to by boys who are very definitely not my superiors.
I also did not ask for your or anyone else's theories about who controls the telephone numbers in question.
Never did. Not ever.
I remain sublimely uninterested in any of the above.
We cool?
Ta ever so much. And buh bye now!
