whats your story

The same jerk (Austin or Oscar) from the same number we've been complaining about calls me about Bell Satellite service. When he learns I'm not interested, he hangs up. I want to pull this guy through the phone and choke him. When I call the number, it rings out. I called Bell Canada to complain an individual or company is fraudently misrepresenting and posing as Bell but it doesn't appear they're going to do much about it.

Definitely a scam. Caller identifies himself as a Bell rep, offering discounts on internet/satellite bundles. He asks if I'm a Bell customer, to which I say "you mean you don't know?". He responds that all the information is encrypted at their end for my protection, then proceeds to ask me for all the information he just finished saying was encrypted for my protection. At this point I tell him he's a dumbass for asking, and he hangs up.

Probably had this call 30 times in the past 2 months.

This is a Scam! Don't give them any information! Just hang up.

I received a call today from this number claiming to be a Bell representative with a high speed internet promotion for our area. We live in a rural location so that news was great to hear. As the conversation continued I was forwarded to another representative to get more info. This new person told me I could save some money... yadda yadda yadda ... then asked me to verify that I was the Bell account owner since we already have some Bell services. I was stupid enough to give him my credit card number thinking that I was verifying ownership. He then told me that I would receive a package within several days, which made absolutely no sense since I didn't order anything. It was at that moment that I knew I had been scammed. I hung up then googled the phone number and found this page to confirm it. It really sucks because I had to cancel the credit card.

I use to consider myself savvy to this sort of thing but not anymore.
