Bell canada impersonation asking to pay for phone

[Lesley]

Beware BELL CANADA impersonation has been phoning land lines within the last 72 hours they are demanding their money. They’re asking you to pay upfront on your cell phone or pay them to a different number. The phone number they are reaching out from states it’s from Bell canada but when you look online, it’s a fraud site and this number has been reported over 1700 times in the last 72 hours The survey number is 1-866-_______ to ask you how your service went with the customer service that is an impersonation. The impersonation number that comes up Bell Canada is 1-866-_______. This one comes up as a fraud number. This number call you at least 17 times a day until you pick up. It also wants you to call the number back, they ask you your name and for your phone number they also demand you pay your bill now I have reported this to CCRT the OPC RCMP, Sault Ste. Marie police officers and anti-fraud sites You can also be put on a do not call list the last time this person phoned me they asked me for my personal ID for my drivers license my bank card info and my health card info. Beware these BELL CANADA scammers are only after IDENTITY THEFTand having more information on you to sell to the dark web u can also reach out to the BBB fora full investigation.

Good Day.

Just another Scam Call! Next time.... just hang up! There is no reason for you to talk to fraudsters. They want to talk to you. There is no requirement for you to connect with them in any way, shape or form.  They want to sell you something, steal something from you or add you to their live contact list! 

Fraudsters can impersonate anyone or any company that they wish to be in order to steal from you. Remember one thing, listen only, say nothing & share nothing! If in doubt call Bell directly.

Bell does not share your personal information with anyone else! Reputable companies such as Bell, banks, utilities & highly regarded services & institutions do not send you messages or make calls such as this! They do not call you asking to provide personal information.

Never share any personal information with anyone you do not know or trust! Do not open web links or messages in Emails or text messages!

Please have a look at the following web links. It will explain just what I am saying with much more details.
