I’ve been receiving 3-4 phonecalls per week from call centers where the caller is always Indian and they’re all calling about a special promotion from one of the big three telecom companies.

I actually registered my phone on the no call list from the federal government. I’m not even a customer of the big three. (Videotron in Quebec ftw) So I shouldn’t be receiving these calls. I’ve also asked multiple times not to be called again. But they still call.

Has anyone else had this issue? How did you deal with it?

    I had some scammers from “Bell” that said they were giving me a free phone as a reward for being a loyal customer. The problem? I haven’t subscribed to Bell in over a decade.

    I strung them along for a while and figured out they were probably trying to get my 2FA code so they could hijack my account and presumably order new devices on my credit.

      Interesting.

      I wonder if it’s possible to report these to the RCMP. I know they work on cracking down on these fraudulent groups with the Indian authorities.
