Hi A-B - thanks for responding. I actually don't remember giving Telus my SIN but I might have when I first signed up 2 years ago.

He is also a Telus customer and said that he had never heard of anyone being asked for their SIN number before but said that even if he was a scammer then he really couldn't do anything with just the last 3 digits of my SIN. Now if the next time I call if somebody asks for the first 3 digits or the middle 3 digits of my SIN then I'll start to worry. đ
I've never been asked for any ID numbers when I've called. Just name, address, PIN. I would call them and have it removed.
