THE SCAM

  • "Your account has been compromised"
  • "Read me the code we just texted you"
  • "You're owed a refund on your bill"
  • "Pay with gift cards"

This is what the fake warning looks like

Questions people ask

Is 1 800 667-0123 really Bell?

Yes. It's Bell's Mobility line for existing accounts, listed on Bell's own contact page. But a caller showing this number may still be a scammer, because caller ID can be faked. Hang up and call it yourself.

Does Bell call asking for my account details?

Not unless you contacted Bell first. In Bell's words: "Bell will never contact you to ask for personal information unless we are responding to an initial inquiry made by you." Hang up and call Bell yourself.

A caller says Bell is upgrading my modem and asks me to press 1.

Treat it as a scam. Hang up and call Bell yourself on the number on your bill.

Something changed on my Bell account that I didn't do.

Bell asks you to contact its Loss Prevention team on 1 800 509-9904 straight away, and to change your MyBell password.

I shared my details with a fake Bell caller. What now?

Call Bell's Loss Prevention team on 1 800 509-9904, then call your bank. Change your MyBell password. Then go to What to do now.
