Today, call to my land-line at 17:40 Pacific.
The caller said he was "Chris Daniel" and "Sam Martin" was my contact in their "billing department", but both voices seemed to be speaking English that they learned in some city like Mumbai.  I have nothing against immigrants from that country coming to Canada, learning English, and being employed, but not taking employment as scammers.

Since the area-code is assigned to Calgary, I asked if he was calling from Calgary or from (area code 604) Vancouver.  He said "yes", rather than saying in which city he  was.   Weird.

Caller-ID showed "TELUS LOYALTY".
They offered a 40% discount on my Telus Internet for 24 months.
They said that they looked-up my account, and confirmed that I have been paying on time, as a loyal customer.
When I called them (from my mobile-phone), the voice-response was "CSS Communications", not Telus at all. Weird.
I was transferred to their "Billing Department".
They said that they needed to "validate" me, by telling them my credit-card number.
A Google-search for my telephone-number can easily give them my name & mailing-address.  They used that information to initially "verify" me.

I have a "dormant" ($0.00/month) Telus Hosting account, but no active services with Telus.  I get my Internet from Rogers.

I received an E-mail, which was automatically dumped into my "spam" folder.

By checking the E-mail headers, this message really did come from Telus, as a response to the scammer clicking "I forgot my password".  Obviously, the scammer clicked something on the real Telus site, for Telus to send me instructions on how to change my password. The scammer wanted me to set the password to "temporary123*" as a "one-time-verification".  Obviously, telling anybody what my password would be changed to be is very wrong.

When I refused to give them my credit-card number, the scammers ended the call.
