Looking back, the first red flag which I ignored was when they said that in order to determine the amount of my discount, they wanted to know how much I was paying on my monthly plan. I gave them that, they gave me like 25% off.
Then they drop that I can upgrade my phone (which I paid off about a year ago and am technically due for an upgrade) and gave me a couple options. I choose the S24+ and they say it's an extra $5 a month (shockingly low and that's when my ears perked up a little) for 2 years.
My spider tingle really started to go off when they started asking me basic information that I felt they should already have like how to spell my name and my email. I started misspelling my name to see if they catch on (which they didn't) and when I started asking them to confirm the information they have for me, they started saying that a supervisor will send a confirmation email with his ID and whatnot (but still didn't verify an email address).
Eventually, I got off the phone with them, called Rogers to confirm if it was real or not - it wasn't. Normally, I'd say I'm fairly on-the-ball about scam calls and I'm a little ashamed to say I got about as far as I did, but it is what it is and thought I'd give everyone a cautionary reminder.
