Discount phone call

[Heather604]

Just received a phone call from 1-201-510-1255 saying that they were from Telus and were going to apply a discount to my account as pricing had been reported as being too high in my area. Is this a scam? They asked how much I paid for a landline and internet plus how much my monthly bill was. I asked them to email the discount information so that I could review it before making any changes.

I have been receiving similar calls this last week first few days from Guelph Ont and most recently from New Westminster. At first I ignored them but they kept calling so I finally answered, the strangest part was when I stated I wasn't interested and was aware that the call was a scam the caller then demanded that I hang up. I replied hey lady you called me so you feel free to hang up, but she refused and then again demanded again that I hang up the call. When I pushed back, trying to figure out what the this was about it was so strange how she continued to demand that I had to hang up the call even going as far as saying I had to listen to her and do it now. 

I don't have any idea how this part of this scheme works for them but I found it really unnerving how adamant she was that I had to end the call.
