On a few occasions we have received supposed “International Calls” .
However, on our Call Display these “International Calls” appear as local Phone numbers; I.E., 250-246-XXXX, or Area Code 905 (Ontario) 905-XXX-XXXX.
Upon investigation, we found that these numbers are non-working local phone numbers that have somehow been accessed by an “overseas” party.
No doubt, there is some SCAM connected to these calls.
We have been advised to; Not answer these calls, and to then BLOCK the number if you have that phone option. For TELUS BLOCKING, Press *98 than Press 8-6. The prompt will tell you how to BLOCK numbers.
