scam
26 Topicsloyalty and service
A couple of months ago I was offered 4 google pixel 9A phones. I asked and was told that there was no other charges attached to these phones. I paid $1 piece. I have had a deal like this a few years ago and it worked out great, no added -on charges, to use or not to use the phones. I thought this was the same deal to off load old inventory. I have 7 people, 7 phones on this account. I have dealt with Telus for over 40 years. I don't expect to be scammed. I am now being charged a pay back fee for our phones. it is assumed we are using the phones. The arbitrary fees make no sense. 4 phones 3 different fees. We all have the same phones Google Pixel 8s. I am frustrated and expect more respect for a long term customer. I haven't had any luck calling in so I hope you can address this problem for me. thank you Debbie [Mod Edit: Removed personal info].34Views0likes1CommentChecking to Verify a Telus Number
The first time this number called me weeks ago, it seemed suspicious, so I blocked it. However, it started calling every few days this past week, so I want to know if I should unblock it or not. The number is 1-833-880-8388. Is this a legit Telus number? Thanks.374Views0likes2CommentsBusuu Subscription?? What is that?
This situation reflects very poorly on TELUS and its billing/security systems. I was charged for Busuu/Google Play services on my TELUS bill even though I have never downloaded the app, never subscribed to it, and had never even heard of it before this charge appeared. I checked my Google Play account, subscriptions, installed apps, and payment history; there is absolutely no record of Busuu anywhere. What made this even more frustrating was TELUS customer service refusing to take responsibility and pushing me to contact Busuu instead, despite the charges appearing directly on my TELUS bill. If TELUS allows third-party companies to bill customers through their accounts, then TELUS should also be responsible for properly verifying and securing those charges. After looking online, I found multiple TELUS customers reporting the exact same issue involving unauthorized Google Play charges. This clearly does not look like an isolated incident and raises serious concerns about TELUS’s security and billing practices.401Views0likes1CommentUrgent: SCAM - please cancel web order
On Aug 30, I received a call from (604) 338-XXXX. A man claiming to be a TELUS agent offered me a "special deal" - a free iPhone 16 Pro Max with a 2-year $45 plan (100GB data). It sounded too good to be true, and I felt suspicious. He reassured me by saying I would place the order myself on the official TELUS website. When I checked, the prices on the website were different and no free iPhone. He told me I needed to complete the order first, then he could apply the offer. At the credit check step, I hesitated because of the sensitive personal details required. At that point, he gave me his name - David, agent# XXXXXX and another number (825) 817-XXXX. I called that number and reached him, which reassured me enough to continue. I completed the order, paid, and received a TELUS order confirmation email (just as David said I would). David then asked for my order number, postal code, and name, which I provided. But when he asked for even more information, I became suspicious and questioned him. He quickly ended the call, saying he would call me back in 10 minutes to confirm the offer, but he never called back. Since then, I have been extremely worried this is a scam. I immediately called TELUS at (866) 488-2709, but the office was closed. I also contacted the TELUS Store in Metrotown, Burnaby BC at (604)438-8920. but they told me they cannot cancel web orders. Up to now, I still have not been able to reach TELUS successfully. I urgently need TELUS to: (1) Cancel my order (XXXXXXXX) immediately before any device is shipped; (2) Investigate the phone numbers involved; and (3) Confirm whether my personal information and payment are secure. Thank you!596Views0likes2CommentsMobility offer - scam or great deal?
Received a call from 888-519-0122 - said they were calling from Telus. Being polite, and having time, I was curious about the offer - asked about some kind of streaming / mobile plan bundle. Eventually landed on talking about $35 / month / line deal for mobile - unlimited talk / text CAN + US, 5G LTE, etc. I asked to be emailed the details - he said he couldn't do that (something about competitors getting the info?). Seemed a bit off. So I asked for a call back b/c I was busy. When he called back, I asked for additional verification that he was from Telus. He read account details (billing details, etc.). These were accurate. He then sent an automated "how to sign up for an e-sim" email that was also legit. When I call back the number, it goes to a Telus automated menu. However, when googling the number, I came across these two conflicting posts with Telus: Post 1: It IS a legitimate number (https://forum.telus.com/discussions/mobile_devices/is-this-a-scam/171441) Post 2: It is NOT a legitimate number (https://forum.telus.com/discussions/mobile_devices/verify-telus-number/174523) Anyway - I read somewhere that you can ask the rep to post a comment on your Telus account that you can then login to see. He said he didn't know how. So I said that if he can figure that out, I'm interested. If not, sorry. So - am I too paranoid or appropriately cautious?96Views0likes0CommentsOvercharged Scam from Telus
What is happening? Sometimes, when we were told to join you guys then you guys say that even if we connect our credit or debit card the pre-authorization payment will be activated and the discount of $10 will be applied but now after using the Telus network for 3-4 months, now you guys tell me that card is not accepted and we should connect our bank to activate pre-authorization payment and get that discount. This is really not happening, I have recorded everything when I switched to the Telus network. I even have recorded voice call that I was with the agent when I was joining Telus Network. This is really kind of disappointing to the new customers, in any way you guys are charging me more than the amount that you promised me to charge. If this is the case then I and my partner were already happy with Fido. Sorry to say but we feel like we are scammed by Telus. This is not done guys. We are paying $20 more again. As a working and struggling in this heavy rising prices in the country how can we pay more and more everytime than the promised charge when joining the Telus network. Please fix this, this is not done.152Views0likes1CommentPossible scam?
Hello, I recieved a call from 1-844-368-7379 regarding a special offer since I just signed up on home services my account being installed on April 1, 2026. The offer they offered was my home internet would go down to $50/mo with $150 bill credit from $68/mo if I switch my 2 phones lines from Rogers. The offer for mobile was $35/mo each for 2 lines so $70/mo with 100gb date each line. Just wondering how can we verify this was a legit caller and offer?258Views0likes1CommentBill Dispute Form Not Working
When calling in for business mobility support to dispute $1200 in erroneous charges I am only able to receive a texted form, and AI bot told me I could not speak to human. Well the form doesn’t work! The error states, “We’re having trouble creating a support request at the moment. Please try again later.” And yes, I did try later and received same response. Is there a direct phone number for a human?174Views0likes3Comments
