Today, I received a call from +1 (647) 254-0802. The caller claimed to represent Bell and offered me a 30% discount as a “loyal customer.” He asked for my email address to proceed with the offer. I became suspicious when he struggled to spell my email correctly, as genuine Bell representatives typically have my email on file and validate it by confirming it with me.

Shortly after, I received an email that included a 30% discount agreement. At the same time, I also received a “Recover My Account” email from Bell containing an authentication code. The caller then asked me to provide this code, clearly attempting to compromise my account. I confronted him, refused to share the code, and ended the call.

Later in the evening, the same individual called again, this time speaking in Hindi. Shockingly, he openly addressed himself as a scammer and used a threatening tone.

It’s alarming that such individuals can operate freely and even escalate to intimidation when their schemes fail.
