Re: Why is Telus selling services to international criminals?
Oh, I can make it much simpler than that. I did not ask to be instructed, lectured at, patronized or condescended to by boys who are very definitely not my superiors. I also did not ask for your or anyone else's theories about who controls the telephone numbers in question. Never did. Not ever. I remain sublimely uninterested in any of the above. We cool? Ta ever so much. And buh bye now!4.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Why is Telus selling services to international criminals?
Nighthawk, re switch from Rogers to Telus and info on line: I'm sure you noted that this was exactly what I said earlier in the thread about Telus numbers showing on line as Rogers numbers. For the rest, I think I did ask that I not be lectured orinstsructed in things I already know. Can we be done now? I should have known that the urge to defend giant corporations against those who dare to question their business practices is something that some people are unable to resist.14KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Why is Telus selling services to international criminals?
(a) Yes. I'm not with Telus, and do not have that feature at present. (b) I do have call blocking on my cell phone. These particular criminals (VISA fraud fraud) tend to use different numbers for every call. Yesterday's to my land line came from 647 and 519. Today's to my cell phone came from 226.16KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Why is Telus selling services to international criminals?
aaaargh. Google gave me the wrong number. https://www.yellowpages.ca/fs/1-519-398-1988 519-398-1988 is a Landline phone number operated by TELUS Integrated Communications and is located in the city of Leamington in ON. No info of number of searches. But: Telus. I hope I'm finished posting and correcting now!16KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Why is Telus selling services to international criminals?
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!16KViews1like3CommentsRe: Why is Telus selling services to international criminals?
(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.16KViews0likes4CommentsRe: Why is Telus selling services to international criminals?
My apologies. I mentioned Rogers in another thread: https://forum.telus.com/t5/Internet-Home-Phone/E-mail-migration-to-Windows-Live-Mail-2012/m-p/112744#M27384 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.16KViews0likes7CommentsRe: Why is Telus selling services to international criminals?
Um ... omg. I really really made it really really clear that this number IS NOT spoofed. When you can dial a number and get an answer from the same caller, that number is not spoofed. I've had my number spoofed and got the confused call-back to show for it. I've also called back a spoofed number and given the poor owner of the number a piece of my mind -- back in the days before we were aware of number-spoofing. I called this number back and got the scammer. G'head. Try it. Let me know whether the person who answers is Sean, Sam or Eric. (There are a surprising number of "Seans" in India, I've found.) I really really dislike being treated like a fool who needs lecturing, whether it's about how things work or about how I should do things. I am very aware of the fact that the Canadian government and the home governments of the criminals are doing nothing to stop this phenomenon. I am not at all persuaded that telecoms have no way of detecting and/or preventing the use of their services for criminal purposes. And you have certainly not persuaded me of that.16KViews0likes0Comments
