Mobility Scam
Just got a call from "Telus" on my daughter's phone offering an iPhone 14 Pro Max and 30 gigs of shareable data for $45 per month. Did not speak very clearly so that was part of the reason we were on ...
The 1-888-484-4117 number belongs to a supposed US "marketing firm" according to Google. Their generic website that lists the number reeks of scam and the address associated with that website points to an apartment building in Santa Monica, CA. The 228 area code of the phone number on that website belongs to Mississippi. In my opinion, it's a total scam.
Thank you. Here's the thing: I tried to report it and the customer service agent was arguing with me whether it was an active line and that he "Googled it" and it was for another company. I spent 5 minutes trying to explain that I had called and the number was live and they were claiming to be Telus so perhaps their security team would want to pursue only to have the guy say he was going to try calling it himself first (which could ruin any possibility of tracking them).
Not much more I can do, sadly.
