Legit or a scam?
I just got a call from Telus - 1-855-255-8828 (caller ID said Telus as well) Tried offering me discounted phones first, which I declined. He then asked me what my current plan was ($45 for 30GB), and then offered $30 for 40GB. I checked the phone number via google search and 1-855-255-8828 did come back to Telus Customer Service. He then said he would need to send me a new Sim card as the promotion needed to be tied to a new Sim card...seemed kind of fishy to me but I went with it anyway. Then asked the personal details, name, address, DOB, DL number, DL number expiry. He then wanted a second form of verification, like a passport or SIN number. This is where I said I wouldn't be able to give it to him. I did forget to mention he asked me earlier in the call what my PIN number was but I legitimately didn't remember it. So after I said no to the passport/SIN, he said to go reset my PIN online, which I did promptly. Gave him the PIN and he said everything was fine. I asked him to e-mail me details of the contract right away and he said it wouldn't be done until Monday. Is this too good to be true or legit?Solved4.5KViews0likes1Comment
