I answered the phone because I was expecting a call from someone with a similar number.  The person on the other end said "hello" and then there was a slight pause.  The person then identified themselves as Sam and asked if I was "having a lovely day" and if I was enjoying my Bell services.  I told them I wasn't a Bell customer to which he laughed and asked if I was a Virgin Mobile customer. I told him no and he laughed again, said "have a great day sir" and then hung up.  This was probably one of those Bell Canada/Bell Mobile discount scams.

I got a call from "Mike" who asked me if I was "having a pleasant day" and if I was satisfied with my services with Bell.  I said I was and he said he had "great news" for me.  Because of my loyalty he could offer a "special one time only for today deal" of 25% off my monthly bill and a new phone of my choice.  All I needed to do was confirm my date of birth, home address, and billing information.  When I asked why I needed to give him this, he said it was to confirm that he was talking to the right person and for my own security.  He also said this was a "exclusive deal" which was why I won't find it on the Bell website or get it if I called the regular customer service number.  It definitely was very suspicious and when I said I wasn't comfortable with what he was telling me, he said "thank you for your time, have a nice day sir" and hung up.

A man with a heavy accent called me and said he was from Bell.  He asked if I was enjoying my Bell services and when I told him I wasn't a Bell customer he hung up.

Same as others:  I got a call from someone who asked some really odd questions about how my day was going before asking if I was happy with my Bell services.  It was just a really strange call and I hung up without engaging any further.

Had a VERY odd call from Brad to this evening.  He had some kind of middle eastern accent and greeted me by name and asked “Are you having a beautiful Christmas season?”.  He then asked if I was enjoying my Bell services and when I said I was, he said “Great news!  Bell has an early Christmas gift for you!”.  He then asked for my full name, date of birth, and mailing address.  By now I knew this was a scam so I called him out on it and hung up. This was obviously an attempt to get my personal information.

Someone claiming they were from Bell and he said could offer me an exclusive deal on my cell phone package.  I said I wasn’t a Bell customer and he apologized and asked if I was a Virgin Plus customer.  When I said no he wished me a good day and hung up.  If this wasn’t a scam call I don’t know what is.

An overly friendly man called asking about my satisfaction with my Bell services.  I’m not a Bell customer so I just hung up on him while he was still talking to me.  It was a fairly obvious scam call.

I was immediately suspicious when I got a call from a number in a province I don’t live in.  Some guy who was way too friendly offered me a 50% discount on my cell bill in exchange for confirming my name and updating my payment information.  I knew this was a scam right away so I wasted a bunch of time by asking him to explain details, repeating dumb questions etc.  When I finally gave him my name I said my last name was “Freely” and I use the initials “I.P.” for my first name. After a slight pause, he swore at me and hung up.  Most enjoyable phone call I’ve had in quite some time lol!

When I answered a male caller greeted me by my first name and said “I hope you are having a wonderful evening” before saying he was from Bell asking me if I was happy with their services. I said I was and then he offered to reduce my cell bill by $50 a month and give me a new iPhone as a loyalty reward.  The old saying “if it’s too good to be true” came to mind and I got suspicious when he started to ask for my personal information to “confirm” my account.  He tried to reassure me by calling me “friend” many times but I told him I wasn’t interested in giving him my information. I called Bell directly and they told me calls like this are indeed a scam.

Mike from Bell Canada asked if I was happy with my Bell services. When I told him I wasn’t a Bell customer he asked if I was a Virgin Mobile Plus client. I said no and he abruptly hung up.

A very friendly man calling himself Mike wished me a happy weekend before offering me a huge discount on my Bell cell phone account. He wanted me to confirm a whole bunch of personal information and didn't give me a good reason why he needed this if he was calling from Bell so I just hung up on him and blocked the number after he tried calling me back.

"Mike" from "Bell* greeted me by name and said he was calling to ask if I was happy with the price I'm paying because Bell has heard a lot of concerns from their customers about high prices. I said everything was fine and he immediately told me he had a special offer for me (50% off my monthly bill) if I could just confirm my address, SIN, and payment information. By this point, I disconnected the call. I came to this site and this confirmed my suspicions.
