IS Telus offering a 40% loyalty discount?

[rbtcpa]

I just received a phone call from someone claiming to be a Telus representative. They thanked me for being a loyal customer who always paid his bill on time. As a reward for being a loyal Telus customer I was to receive a 40% discount for 2 years. They further asked if I was Telus Mobility customer as well. When I said no, they asked which company I had a Cell phone with. I told them and they said that Telus had an agreement with that company and they could offer me a 20% discount on my cell phone bill. At this point, I became suspicious. They passed me on to their supervisor who needed to confirm the transaction. When he asked for my birthdate, I said you do not need to know that and hung up. I do believe it was a scam but it sounded so legit.

certain address do have discount (25-40%) if you have 2+ telus services. You can always call telus yourself to check.

Yes, discounts may be offered to certain customers if you ask but I doubt TELUS would cold call people to offer them.

Definitely a scam. I've been with Telus for 23 years and have never been offered anything for my long-term loyalty. I'm gone when this contract is up!

I have just fallen for this. Last night. On what appeared to be a legitimate call from Telus with a TELUS banner displayed.
Having spent the last hour+ trying to allay OR confirm my suspicions due to many emails from them today, I came across this note. I will call Telus offices tomorrow to check, but I must comment on the winding road approach it took to be able to confirm OR deny that there were any current scams even happening.
Maybe it's just me, so thanks for the vent 😞
