TELUS Door to Door Salespeople Question
Hi, we had two salespeople - looking like they were in their early 20's, one male and one female - arrive at my door today (20th of October). I forgot to verify their IDs but they were selling a bundled Telus ADT phone/internet package that included home security. There have been some scams in the neighborhood and I wanted to make sure they were legitimate. Did you have two agents doing door-to-door sales today in the afternoon, in the streets surrounding Southworth Street in Welland, Ontario?
TELEKOM LAW PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION scam?
Today I received this email from this company "TELEKOM LAW PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION". I am not sure if its scam/fake or real. I am extremely unhappy with receiving emails like this when I had clearly mentioned Telus about my situation and they said everything will be taken care of. Last month, I returned the products with Telus because I had this charge of $1,523.20. and once I successfully returned, the amount went down to $991.96. Later, I was talking to Johnathan (Telus rep), how I can pay it back, and he said instead of paying that amount, he could just give me a new plan and so he would replace that $991.96, with a new plan; suggesting its better to pay for some service instead of nothing. I confirmed 5 times with him if this was possible, and he said "yes", this was a recorded call and is part of my account notes. So I went ahead trusting him and said sure give me the new plan, which I got for 3 years paying $25 monthly, in-return he would erase the $991.96 that I owed to Telus. I was told that my account will be cleared from this charge. It has been recorded on call, and notes have been made under my account. Telus specifically told me about not to worry as they have taken this charge out of my account, and given me a new plan. Today I receive this email that makes me think customer is not being taken seriously. I want an immediately response in regards to this matter.PSA "Loyalty" Scam
Yesterday I received a call from Alberta 403-915-2871 claiming to be from "Telus Promotions" and telling me that because I am such a loyal customer that Telus has decided (magnanimously) to reduce my mobility bill by 30% and to use my rewards to gift me with my choice of an iPad or a Samsung smartwatch. This amazing gift will be sent to me, at no charge! Sneaky scammers - asked me to confirm my postal code, which gives them my street address, and then to confirm the house number. This is how they get your address while you think they had it all along. They also asked for my Telus PIN and email. When he transferred me to a "supervisor" the connection was extremely bad (bad internet in India?) so he called me back, this time from Ontario using 365-226-6304. This person repeated the same stuff and confirmed the same information. Today I got yet another call, this time from British Columbia (778-557-2619). I told him flat out that I know it's a scam and to drop it. We'll see if the persistent creep calls back again, and from where. When something seems to good to be true, it usually is. I have changed my password and PIN (using random generators), activated 2FA on my Telus accounts, and contacted Telus directly.
