Telus Call Phishing Scam +188881123323
I just spent an hour trying to determine whether a deal I received from a Telus number was a scam or not. The existing threads on here are unclear, inconclusive or contradictory. The info on here led me to believe it was a scam, but then after spending time calling Telus and having them check, confirmed it was in fact a legitimate call. Can we have a Telus rep confirm the info on this forum. Is “+1” at the front of the number a reliable indicator of whether it’s a legit call or not? What else can we do to protect ourselves in the case someone is spoofing the number?
Telus sent me to collection agency without contacting me
I received a mail from General Credit Services Inc stated that they have been contracted as the authorized collection agency because I own $1919.58 to TELUS CORPORATION PAYROLL I do recognize that the account number shown on the mail is indeed the T-ID I was assigned but I have left Telus more than 2 years ago, and not a single word from Telus, all of sudden I was sent to collection for something I never heard of? I tried to contact Telus to find out what’s going on, but giving that all the number I can find is for customer service and I clearly don’t have any active account so nobody can tell me anything. The nice ladies I had been talking to both assumed this is a scam letter. But given that the T-ID was actually shown on the letter I’m hoping someone from Telus could help me with this please. At least tell me the reason for this not so small amount please. 😭 Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. Rae
Received call for home security offering 300 dollars worth
Received a call and the person on the phone told me that I am offered 300 worth of security and declined the offer multiple times and he was very insistent making me repeat multiple times until I agreed in the call he told me that since I wanted to do DIY if I dont install in a month I would have to pay 100 dollars I was ok whit it but did not inform me that I would automaticaly entrer a montly billing cycle that ended up going to 315 dollars after a couple of months when I found out and called for assistance in the matter they where able to lower it but still came out as valid but when I asked to cancel it I was informed that I would have to pay 2000 dollars very confused on how the security items that I recived would cost that much and no knollege that I would have to pay that but that is when I was explained that I am in a contract to pay the monthly bill for 60 months and on the phone call was never informed of this contract the person on the phone who contacted me made it seem that it was a gift from Telus and that once installed and activated on the app I would pay for the service monthly like the phone bill never told of contract and now have to pay for the next 57 months for something I have not installed yet because of time and personal issues in the call whit the assistant they could not get in contact whit this agent that did not inform me of such matters and lied about what the offer was and once again I was declining since the start of the call saying I am ok I dont need it and dont want it still got the boxes sealed in the corner.
