**also said as a 'free bonus'  they would send a free Bell flip phone and offered a cell plan that could be activated when the package is received..

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!

I too got a call from (905) 845-4646 today and spoke with an Indian accented male. Said he was from Bell and wanted to know if I was with Bell. I asked him if he knew me or if I had asked him to call me. I told him to take me off the list and he just pursued the conversation ignoring me. I hung up, he called back and started his spiel again and I yelled *&^%$# and hung up again. He called back again and told me to apologize to him, I said &^%$# and hung up again. He called back and proceeded to push the phone buttons causing the beep sounds in my ear. I yelled that I would call the police and report him if he ever called back. I called the number he called from 905 845 4646 and it is a combined phone/fax line for which no one answered as expected. If anyone out there wants to press charges against this person/s please let me know as I will be glad to do so.

our office received a call from this number.no answer.its very weird.i called back ,this number is not in service!

Received a call from this number tonight saying he is calling from bell.I told him we dont want any service and hanged up.He called in a second back and used bad words.

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.
