scam
2 Topics2 year loyalty discount?
Hi, apologies if this is a duplicated post - I've seen old ones that are similar, but wanted to check if this is a newer version of a scam. I got a call from 778-437-9938 (showed up as British Columbia on caller ID - which is the correct province) and I was being offered a 2 year 30-40% discount on my current bills. Sounded very suspicious - the guy didn't know how much I was currently paying, and didn't even really bother to verify anything. He sent me two very sketchy looking email for my cell and internet marked as "privileged program", then said he was going to transfer me to his supervisor. His "supervisor" then said he wanted to give me a discount code that I need to enter; I asked him why he couldn't just apply everything from his side, and he basically had no answer - just a "uhhh, eheh, well...we...can? But we need you to also confirm from your side". I told him I'd call him back because I had to do a work meeting. He was trying to say that he could call me back, and I just told him that I would call back, which I won't, but that also seemed like a suspicious move. Anyone else get this call and can confirm it's a scam? Doesn't seem very legit to me.Solved115Views0likes2CommentsReceived 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.1.4KViews0likes2Comments
