Re: 2 Bell agents try to convince me to switch from Videotron @Door2Door, thanks for the replies.
I just spoke to a friend and he raised up the question:
"What if they weren't actually from Bell, and were just trying to commit fraud by getting me to sign up with them and paying something on the spot or just collecting my personal information for identity theft purposes?"
It got me thinking because for
1: They didn't come in a Bell branded car, it was a personal dark red Buick (from what I could see from my door).
2: They refused to give me a business card when I asked.
3: They did have bell badges hanging from their necks in a plastic cover but I couldn't read them.
4: One of them left me a bell Fibe TV pamphlet (even though he was there to sell me internet connection) with his first name "Nabil" and his personal cell phone number which traces back to Rogers. (isn't that hilarious?).
For the record they both had arabic accents, and one of them confirmed to be Moroccan.
Should I be worried and call the police? |

| Chances are they were selling Bell stuff, who knows.
Check by-laws. If a permit is required, filed the complaint with both the city and cops. Let them get a file. They'll find them.
It's not often I hear of Montreal area door-2-door Bell rep's. You hear this often in Ontario though. But years back some people would do this. Bell would give people a small cut, or free access for X-users they brought in. So some people would go door-2-door. Lies and BS were ripe (still is in Ontario). Anything to make a sale to a sucker. Once the sale is done, they don't care. They just want their small cut or free access from Bell. And Bell allows this to go on.
Stand-up company, ay?
As for a "badge". heh. I never heard of a "bell badge" (keystone cops??). If some kid waved a plastic bell badge in my face I would tell them where to go. |

Should I be worried and call the police? Call Bell and ask them if he works for them (giving them his employee number, his name, etc). |

Wonder if it was the same "Nabil" from Hamilton?
