I’ve been getting calls on my cell phone from someone claiming to be from Telus Mobility despite me asking not to be called for sales/marketing purposes. The calls always come when I am busy at work. I happened to be home today so when I got the call I picked it up. The gentleman, who claimed to be from Telus Mobility and spoke very fast and with a thick accent, told me there was a customer loyalty program and I needed to choose between a free iPhone or Samsung. I told him I wasn’t interested in a new phone. He continued to persist that I could keep my current phone and I would just get a new free iPhone 16. I said no thanks several times and finally hung up.
I wasn’t sure if this was a scam situation, or a very aggressive representative? Either was, it was a very off-putting experience. Call display listed the phone number as from Ontario, 1-705-790-8846.
Thought you should know.
