Possible Telus Scam????

I just got a phone call from someone clearly not from Canada, stating he was from Telus and that my number was randomly chosen and i have won an LG Chocolate Flip phone. The promotion i get with this phone is as follows:

3 months free:
- Unlimited calling
- " " video
- " " texting
- " " picture

- 825 minutes free
- Unlimited evening/weekend
- " " incoming
- " " calling
- " " voice mail
- " " texts

He said the phone was under a 3 yr. contract with a $35.00 activation fee.

I'm incredible dense when it come to talking about cell phone issues and what not, but i just thought i'd ask you guys to see if this is real or an actual scam???????? has anyone else had this happen to them???

Hi,

I was wondering if anything came out of this for you? I just got the same call. I questioned him several times, but still ended up giving my birthdate and postal code (stupid, I know).

Just wondering what I should be worried about!

hey,

actually, what happened was i kept getting calls from "so and so" from the Calgary office calling be back as a confirmation call. i got the "confirmation call" twice and the second time they called, i flipped out on them and told them to delete my number or legal action will be enforced. They did so, thusly and i have yet to receive a call from them.

...it's a scam... be careful! next time they call, tell them you want everything deleted and don't want the phone. Why would they give you a free phone from telus when you already have one FROM telus right? stupid scams!

its not a possible telus scam...it is one...trust me on that...i learned the hard way....500 dollars later i realized
