this is reply i got from bell canada pls read it
Thank you for your letter regarding a caller representing themselves as Bell Canada.

This was not a call from Bell.

Many cellular customers from various companies are being called and told that very same thing.

When you press “1” to collect the travel dollars “you won”, it connects you to a person who then attempts to extract personal information from you.

It is just another form of social engineering that the criminal world has come up with.

The best advice I can give is to do exactly what you did…hang up.

We take this very seriously and our Corporate Security group is currently investigating the situation.

I got a call along the same lines of what you will read elsewhere on this site. Bell told me, automated at first, i won 100,000 free bonus points towards vacations. I actually spoke to Danial for piliminary infoformation, ( all bogus on my part ), then had all that info confirmed a service represenative. Dillon the service rep asked for my credit card # and my permission to extract $698 for a double vacation worth $3600. PLEASE be aware of this second phone # pulling the exact same scam...(403) 674-2323 from Alberta. As in the case of the other #, it will be out of service when you call back.
