Phone call Fibre Phishing Scam

I've received several calls over the last couple of weeks from a number that shows up as "Fibre Support" on the caller-ID from a 778-244-8171 number. I had let it go to voicemail previously and they never left a message. Today I answered and the person calling claimed to be a TELUS rep, and said that they are calling about my service - that I am not connected to the TELUS Fibre network yet. They started asking me information to confirm my account information. They knew my address, which might not have been weird, but a red flag was that they called me by my maiden name, which is weird because my TELUS accounts are under my married name. When I started asking questions, the person asked if I was with Shaw, at which point I was like, OH this is definitely not an official TELUS call and I hung up. 

If this was a real TELUS customer service call, it was done extremely badly and I would be very concerned.

That number is definitely not legitimate. Unfortunately there are a number of these fraudulent calls circulating around as always, but you did the right thing. Thanks for flagging this number to us and of course don't hesitate to check in with us regarding the authenticity of any further calls like this you may receive!
