Texts from 183587
I keep receiving texts from 183587 claiming to be TELUS and that I have a payment "past due"
The message reads:
FreeMsg TELUS 8884961481: (changing message about being reminded to pay).
Reply 1 to pay, 2 if already paid, or 3 for more details
I have auto-pay on both my Mobility and Home account and have kept up on my payments. Not sure why I keep getting these texts. Is this actually TELUS or is this a scam?
Total scam. That's not even a Telus toll free number. Depending on your phone / messaging app, you may be able to report it as spam / junk. If not see: https://www.telus.com/en/support/article/report-spam-texts-smartphone

Thanks! I got the same thing from same number, quoting same (fake) Telus account number. With help from Telus live support crew they've confirmed this is total spam.
I've also recently got repeated messages from this number (183587), about a Telus account that I do not own at all. Telus live agent have confirmed with me what I've received are spam. Telus account numbers are 6-7 digits only but the message I got was having so many more digits to it. Also got spam calls about the Telus account I do not own calling me incorrect name.

Thank you very much! I've blocked and reported the number, so relieved I didn't interact with it other than that.
