Expert Opinion

Repeatedly, callers from +18884961481 claim they're Telus and warn of unpaid bills. Most recipients hear an automated voice that knows their name, then request personal details like a postal code or credit card number. Treat any unsolicited request for personal data as suspicious, especially when the caller cannot locate your account after you call back. Hang up, avoid pressing keypad prompts, and let your phone’s block feature handle future attempts. Report the number to the Canadian Anti‑Fraud Centre or your telecom’s spam‑call portal, and consider enrolling in a reputable call‑screening service to curb robocall volume.
