Got a call from this guy, he was going into a spiel, and then I looked it up, found these testimonials, and told him to take a hike.

Guy had his story all wrong, thought I had a home phone with Bell and such.

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.

Got a call yesterday from this number (905) 845-4646) and spoke to a guy who claimed to be a Bell representative. I've had some negative experiences with Bell internet in the past (repeatedly dropped connection) and told him that I've been in contact with Bell on a regular basis since I began using their services. He claimed that the call was regarding customer satisfaction, to which I responded that mine was low in terms of technical difficulties, but relatively high in terms of customer service (in my experience, Bell employees have always been very good).

He told me that he could check to see whether my internet was working, and I responded that that was not necessary as I'd been working online it when he called. He didn't seem to understand this logic. He kept repeating that the call was regarding customer satisfaction, but did not seem satisfied with my responses related to the topic. Finally, I told him that I was too busy to continue the call, and he asked when a better time to call would be. I responded that I will initiate calls with Bell when I feel it necessary, and asked to be removed from their call list.

No such luck, I have received two calls from the same number before 10am the following day.

Advice -- if you need to discuss your phone/internet/cable services, it's in your best interest to initiate the call yourself. If you're hesitant about an offer, take the callers employee ID number and call the service provider back yourself (note -- don't call the number they offer, call Bell/Rogers/other SP directly and ask about the validity of the offer). It's the only way to be sure that they are truly representing the company they claim to represent.

Be careful!

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.
