I just received the most believable scam ever. The number initially showed as coming from Bell Aliant, and I am a customer so I answered.
She was trying to offer me a “bundled promotion” (cell, tv, internet) but she didn’t even know what services I had with Bell. (red flag #1)
She wasn’t even sure my account number or my address (red flag #2).
Once I gave it to her she then said my account was suspended. I said actually I have a credit of $50 on my account. (red flag #3)
She told me the “internet, tv, and cell package” was $150/month. I asked her what the internet speeds were… to which she said 150. So I asked is that uploads or downloads? She said both (red flag #4).
She kept putting me on hold over and over and over from the time I answered the call. (red flag #5)
She then said she NEEDED to do a credit check in order to give me this promotion and could not proceed unless I agreed (red flag #6 and the biggest red flag)
I have been with bell for over 15 years – same account – and have never once missed a payment. What do they need to do a credit check for?
She would not stop pushing that she needed to do a credit check to offer me this “promotion”. And said that it was “for my own protection”… WHAT?! 😂🤣
So I just said “well I’m sorry about your luck because I am absolutely not agreeing to a credit check”. They would have surely asked for my social insurance number.
I told her to have a good day and hung up and immediately googled the number. My results found that it is a “spoof” bell aliant number and not actually bell. And now on my phone it shows “unknown” and not Bell anymore.
Be very careful everyone!!
