ANOTHER from them?? I am glad I didn't answer. Boy they sure ARE pushy!! They won't leave me alone! I don't want their stupid TV and internet! I already am with another company and they are so pushy! If they were not pushy I would answer but they just do NOT take no for an answer!!
They call my house, ask for "the home owner mr. or mrs. blablabla". The last name they gave was somewhat close to mine but was not my last name. I asked for him to repeat it just in case he was seriously mispronouncing my name but again it was somewhat close but not my name. I tell him that there is no one here with that name and then he asks me to verify that he dialed my number. I've dealt with telemarketing criminals before and this guy really gave me the feeling that he was trying to get me to say the word "yes" over the phone so they could edit the conversation and then try to bill me for something I never agreed to. So I answered him by saying "you have called my number". He then asks me to confirm that I am not the person he was asking for. I responded by asking him "Who are you?" at which point he quickly said "Thank you very much for your time." and hung up on me.
It was a telemarketing call trying to push Bell Solo products. They call at least once a week. Last week was the final straw, and I asked Bell to stop it. This is the reply from Bell:
"I wish to advise you that we have received a number of reports about
this. These calls seem to be coming from overseas and appear to be a
scam. Our security department is currently investigating this issue
since it affects our company's name and reputation. We would like to
ask for your assistance in our investigation. Kindly reply to this
email and provide us with more details on these calls you have received."
Called by this number promoting Bell Canada cell phone programs.
When presentation completed and agreed upon, demanded either our SIN number or a credit call number.
Considering we have been customers of Bell Canada for over 45 years and the Canadian Bill of Rights, we would not provide the requested information. After persistant attempts to induce us to provide these numbers we had no choice but to end the discussion, despite the fact we felt this was a good deal. DO NOT PROVIDE THIS TYPE OF INFORMATION.
