Call display comes up as 'TELUS'. I answered once and nobody spoke right away. I assumed it was routing me to a disinterested call centre staffer so I hung up.

Phoned 411 immediately after this call. Man over the phone claimed to be from the "Energy Research Board of Canada". Told me that I had the highest energy consumptions in my area and that he was contacting me because of this. Said that he had a device that I simply had to plug into my wall to save 40% on my energy bill. He kept asking me to agree to everything he was saying. He added "alright?" to the end of every sentence. I just screwed with him. You don't need a degree in electrical engineering to know that this is a scam. I kept evading the "alright's?" until I finally said "No. It's NOT alright" Then he asked me if I had a brain. I said "excuse me". He said "You aren't answering my questions!" - as if he had some entitlement to an answer from me. So then we started slinging the mud. It was fun. But this guy needs to be shut down. Phone non-emergency police if you here from this man. He has a thick East Indian accent (no offense to East Indian people).
Sorry. All of the above is true. But the number 604 310 2225 is not the scammer's number. It was just a reroute from 411 to Telus. Anyway, watch out for this guy.
