Rogers @ Promtiondeals.ca - this a legit third party promotion group from Rogers?

[G_trieu]

I received a cold call from 18655448137. The person claimed to be a Rogers promotional team member. In short, he offered an amazing deal, offered to buy out my current contract and offering a new phone and plan for an amazing deal.

I was interested in the deal, the operator transferred me to a manager. The manager's name was Mark Adams. I was a little skeptical so I asked him to send me an email confirming that they work with Rogers. He sent me a email confirming the promotion from an address of Rogers@promotiondeals.ca. The phone number they told me to call back if I had questions. Is British Columbia landline number.

They were not able to confirm any personal information to prove that they got my number from Rogers.

Does anyone know if this is a legit third party marketing vendor?

The deal is too good to be true, just want to make sure that they are legit.

Things are not adding up, he claims that they work out of Toronto but the call from a BC line.
Try to look up promotiondeals. ca  but it's a dead link

@G_trieu I would give this a pass.  Rogers customers routinely receive calls promising to cut your contract costs by a fairly large amount. Thats the usual spiel....  As they say, if it sounds too good to be true, thats usually the case.

I received the same call yesterday. The deal is sketchy as it is too good to be true. (Not being racist) but the agent has a strong Indian accent and he introduced himself as Harry White and his "Agent ID" is 8018. I would say this is NOT a legitimate Rogers deal.

I just received the same call today. Started by offering to buy out my contract and then gave me the deal which I told her that it was definitely too good to be true. Her name was Alina Ally and the number she called me from was 647-948-8117 extension 8019. I was like sorry not interested then she had her so called manager Gloria call me and I am like it's fake and I hung up. Luckily I only gave her my licence number and not the passport/credit card/SIN number as she asked. I asked her employee id and she is like my extension is my employee id.

This is 100% a scam, the same thing just happened to me today and just got off the phone with rogers.

This is a scam. They called me last year and I was not careful and gave them my name and address and telephone number to get the new contract. The next thing I saw was that somebody has ordered an iphone 15 Max Pro (Highest memory capability) (i.e. almost the most expensive phone in the market that time) on my behalf. It took me several calls to real Rogers to cancel it. I don’t know what the benefit is for them, because the phone would come to my address, but apparently there is something in it for them.
Interestingly, they have called me this year as well. Last year they mentioned they are from BestBuy, now ahe said she is from Rogers!!
Pay attention that the legit emails should come from Rogers.com website, nor Rogers@ something else!

What happens is the scammers apologize for sending the incorrect/not wanted phone and provide you with a return label, which sends the phone to the scammers, not Rogers.  Apparently some people even fell for the scam twice, delivering two new high priced phones to the scammers...

Yup, same thing here offering an iPhone 16 Pro Max with plan for $65/month all in. His fake name: Mike Allen (Indian accent). I wanted it to be true so badly that I almost fell for it.

I received a similar call just now. First it was from a random Ontario number, after I showed them I'm interested,  they said they need to move and call me back shortly. After that the number they appeared to be calling from was  (866)6568690 (Rogers). The guy said his name was Steve Smith and his phone number (226)4077460, and his boss was Mike Allen (833)5591520. "Steve" claimed he had a LinkedIn profile, and yes, there he was, Category Director, Marketing and Services at Rogers Communications. I asked "Steve" to accept my invite, but was told it's not possible in the next 24 hours.
Later "Steve" sent me an email with the offer also from Rogers @ Promtiondeals.ca, and said he can't send me an email from his own corporate mailbox. Now I have no doubts these were scammers.

I had the same experience. I received a call from them, and they mentioned they had an offered phone for a lower monthly cost. Since I was expecting a call from Rogers, I thought it wasn't spam. For confirmation, they asked me for a code that was sent to my email, and I provided them with the code. Within a minute, I received an email from Rogers saying my password had been successfully changed. I immediately changed my Rogers password to secure my account.

Please be cautious and verify any communication you receive to avoid these scams.

If you read the email with the code from Rogers it states that you should never provide the code to anyone.  Is there anything you don't understand about that caution?

>>> the phone would come to my address, but apparently there is something in it for them.

Step 2 for the scammer: telephone you when you have received it, and send you a "return-label" for you to "return" it.  However, the address on the label belongs to the scammer. So, you will be "gifting" the device to the scammer, but you need to pay the REAL invoice.

Sneaky!

I'm getting similar offer but too crazy good , its funny;

An iphone 16 for the wife and an S24 for me , 50GB (5g) , unl talk and text in canada and usa for both.  $78 0$ upfront. He has called me 4 times and someone emailed me this offer 2x .  Just trying to get them to waste all their time.

[LDunn]

actually, they increased it in the second email, its now a pro max and 100 gigs.  $78 ( tax inc), so 39$ x2 lines for that seems like a good deal. LOL

If the site is "Promtiondeals.ca" -- no "O" between "M" and "T" -- then it is a scam, because that domain-name is not taken.  You may register that domain-name with GODADDY for just 1 cent for the first year, when you sign-up for 3 years.  Ha, ha, ha.
