Based on your description, the call you received appears to be a scam. Telus takes customer security very seriously, and we want to assure you of the following:
- We will never ask for personal information such as passwords or credit card details over the phone.
- Telus representatives will always call from an identifiable 1-800 number with clear Caller ID as "Telus."
- We do not call from blocked or unknown numbers, nor do we make calls at odd hours.
If you suspect a call is fraudulent, we recommend you:
- Do not provide any personal information.
- Hang up immediately.

I just got the same call. She said her name was Jennifer Smith (she had a thick accent. right!) and had our telus acct number. She said she'd upgrade the koodo cell acct and the telus home service account for a loyalty bonus. She asked for a $20 one time setup fee.
