Beware of Scam Calls Posing as Rogers: A Close Look at PromotionsRogers.ca and Red Flags to Watch For

I recently received a suspicious phone call from someone claiming to be from Rogers. The representative, who identified himself as Tony, called me from the number (416) 808-4235. When asked whether he was directly affiliated with Rogers, he assured me he was.

Aware of the prevalent scams, I asked for a callback number to verify the legitimacy of the call. Tony provided me with the number 647-956-0558, extension 800. Upon calling back, Tony requested my full name and other personal information. I declined, stating that if he truly represented Rogers, he should already have my details. He then cited GDPR regulations as a reason for needing to verify my information.

To further prove his authenticity, Tony offered to send me an email from Rogers. I provided a fake email address, and soon received an email that, on the surface, seemed professional and included Rogers' logos. However, upon closer inspection, I noticed the email came from sales@promotionsrogers.ca, not from a Rogers.com domain. This was a red flag for me.

I decided to dig a bit deeper by performing a whois check on the domain promotionsrogers.ca. The domain was only registered on July 24, 2023, which raised further concerns.

Convinced that this was a scam, I confronted Tony while still on the phone. His reaction was aggressive, leading me to hang up immediately.
