SCAM security call
Every three weeks I receive an automated call from 1-855-509-5413 claiming to be Telus Smart Security telling me that I am the contact number for my parents' address and that there is a security issure and requests me tell the residence of that address to call 1-855-844-8435 and gives an incident number related to the file. My parents are no longer with Telus Smart Homes so the call is obviously a scam. What is concerning to me is the amount of correct information they have. They have my name, my parents' address, the fact that I am the emergency contact, my home phone and my cellphone which the scammers call immediately after calling my home number. This leads me to believe Telus is either selling our information or they had a data breach that they neglected to tell their customers about.
ADT legacy security system and tech support
How does one reach technical support for an ADT legacy system. I've procrastinated replacing the batteries in a number of sensors and want to tackle it now. I used to be able to call ADT and they would take the system offline so we could open the sensors and replace batteries without them getting alarms. None of the phone numbers I have work. Help please! TIAHidden cancelation fees
I fell victim of the very scammy sale practice from Telus. I was signed up through a door-to-door sale in 2023. The salesperson clearly stated there were no hidden fees or cancellation penalties. Based on that conversation, I agreed to a SmartHome security, believing everything was on a 3 year term that I can cancel anytime. Today, after the customer support call I learned about cancelation fees! This was never disclosed verbally, and I would not have agreed to SmartHome under those terms. On top of that, the SmartHome system itself has been problematic from the beginning. The door camera has never worked reliably. I’ve tried to address this through support many times, but the issues were never properly resolved.. This experience has seriously damaged my trust, especially given TELUS’ recent ranking for customer complaints. At this point, I’m simply asking for a callback from customer service or the loyalty team to resolve this fairly, without penalties for a service that was misrepresented and never worked properly. If this can’t be resolved within a week, I will be submitting a formal complaint to the CRTC.
Can my calls since April 2025 be reviewed ????
I have already spoke to loyalty department with no result and they said there is no where for me to elevate my concern. Moved in May 2025, was told to leave all My equipment at the old house the same as my house before….Called for the new installation for September 30th. Was going to let my contract just run out expiring in May 2026. Upon installation, was charged again for all equipment I had owned previously to the new location and was also renewed into a 3 year contract without my knowledge. Called but they said that I was advised of all this. My calls should be recorded. Why would I renew my contract another 3 years? I think maybe the call agents have sales targets. My last call with Elvis Calanche on Dec9th reassured me I could cancel on May 2026. Then this week my bill went up another $11.00 and apparently I was signed up by Elvis for Telus online security add on so I called in today and Christine cancelled this but then also advised me I’m in contract till September 2028 also asked her if my bill would go down by returning uninstalled equipment the tech left behind and she said because I have an unauthorized discount that she said my bill might go up. She also said. I’m lucky that my bill is low! Feeling very lost and confused with Telus. I only wanted to move my existing contract to another property and the representative signed me up on a new contract???? Why??Now I am stuck.Renewed contract without consent
I have a Telus security contract 21832413 that was $32.00 a month renewing in May 2026, when I moved they said I could transfer to another address with no cost. I had it installed and then I was charged over $200 for installation then my bill went up to $42.00 a month. When I called in, I noticed my contract had been extended and renewed without my knowledge and my bill was now $42.00 a month . I called and spoke to loyalty department and Elvis Calanche said not to worry I could still cancel in May of 2026 but my bill went up by $10 a month due to added equipment. No additional equipment was added that I didn’t have at my large home from before. Then he said there’s nothing more I can do. I hung up and he emailed me both contracts. Now my newest bill is showing $52.00 a month and someone from Telus was searching my profile on LinkedIn. I want help on this matter. I feel like I have been taken advantage off and a prisoner to a contract I didn’t renew.
Jammers.
I was away from home for 10 days with my Telus app on away. Yet when I returned I found the grouts in my bathroom dirty when I had left them chloroxed and when I went to vacuum 2 days later Oct 19th, the cannister was filled with dog hair when my dog was groomed in September. Can people with jammers bypass home security? How can I check activity Oct 6 to 17?
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?
