I just received a call from (844)277-6920 "on behalf of Fido", telling me that according to my data usage history from the past 6 months that I was using a lot of the data allowed under my current plan and attempting to upsell me to a higher monthly data limit for more money. Here's the problem: my monthly data usage sits at a pretty consistent 10% of my plan's allowance. The agent acting on Fido's behalf either didn't have my usage information and was just rolling with the script he was given, or someone somewhere in the chain is lying. Trouble is, some people might fall for it. The agent also asked me what I use my phone's data for. Excuse me? Nobody calls me and asks me what I use my data allotment for. I didn't ask for your marketing contractor to call me and I'm sure as hell not going to give them any information about what I use my phone for or why. This call, based on intent (more money for data I don't need) and method (lying about my data usage) was fraudulent, and if I ever get another call from Fido or an authorized agent of Fido trying to sling this **bleep** again, I will not be renewing my contract when it's up and Fido can count themselves lucky if I continue paying for it at all, as I would consider this a material breach (fraud). I have always paid my bill on time and in full. Please review your policies regarding third party marketing and get your act together so this garbage never happens again.
