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. ...
My apologies. I mentioned Rogers in another thread:
I guess by "Regardless", you mean for Telus customers.
There is no email contact given for phone scams at the page in question (which I was already familiar with):
https://www.telus.com/en/about/security/report-a-problem
I cannot call *611 from a TELUS handset, and I have no desire to get into a telephone conversation with any call centre employee over this issue. So I guess I'll just wait for Telus's response to my email.
Yeah "regardless" was off on a tangent.
You said "No pay-extra features" so I wanted to make it clear to people reading the thread that Call Control was free.
The datacore database you reference is unreliable.
I looked my TELUS number and it came up as Rogers.
(Ah yes, I have seen the edit function misused for that purpose elsewhere.)
I wouldn't put anything past Rogers! But probably also Telus. Devil and deep blue sea, fire and frying pan, has been my experience with telecom providers.
My number comes up as Rogers. So does my Zoomer phone, since Zoomer uses Rogers.
My mum's Rogers phone comes up as Bell -- which it originally was. I don't suppose yours used to be Rogers? 😉 My sister's Telus phone comes up as Telus ...
This question is probably exhausted now. Thanks, all. If I do receive a reply from Telus, I will report.
Here we go, the source I usually try to find:
https://www.yellowpages.ca/fs/1-519-398-8088
519-398-8088 is a Landline phone number operated by TELUS Integrated Communications and is located in the city of Leamington in ON. 519-398-8088 has been searched 157 times on YP.ca.
So to summarize:
- owned by Telus
- not spoofed
and awaiting reply from Telus. Until then, thanks!
