Received a call from a person posing as Bell smart home security, caller ID was bell Canada number was 800 *** ****. They told me by system was in failure and they needs my password to continue to book an appointment. I was suspicious and did not provide it. (there were no errors on my security panel. The scam is convincing they called back a second time and they are pushing hard to get the info. Be careful!

Good afternoon @STreadwell,

Welcome to the Bell Community, and thank you very much for sharing.

You are definitely right to be suspicious. Bell will never call and ask you for any personal information such as a password.
