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.
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.
