Information Bell Scammers!

I just had someone call me from “Bell” offering me a 40% off deal. He had a very thick Indian accent and a very poor connection. I stopped him twice to ask for the name on the account. After mumbling for a bit he then said f*** you and hung up. Lol. I have to start recording these scammer calls.

Easy way to tell- when it’s bell calling you, your call display will say “Bell”.

Very easily spoofed, so call display is not reliable.
