📞 Phone Scam Alert: A Customer's Costly Experience
Just recently, a customer contacted us in distress. He had received a phone call from individuals posing as Telus representatives. The scammers, speaking with heavy accents and claiming to offer a “special phone deal,” convinced him to share personal and banking information over the phone. Shortly after, his bank account was drained.
This is not an isolated case. Scam calls, especially from individuals impersonating telecom providers or government agencies, are becoming more sophisticated and frequent.
🛑 How These Phone Scams Work
Scammers typically:
-
Pretend to be from Telus, CRA, or Microsoft
-
Offer fake deals or claim your account is at risk
-
Ask you to verify personal info
-
Gain remote access to your phone or computer
-
Install hidden spyware or malware
-
Steal your banking and login credentials
Once they gain access, your device is compromised—and your finances and personal identity are at serious risk.
