I am using fido for 7 years. All good first 5 years. starting from last year, crazy amount of fraud spam calls made to me almost everyday. and today a this dangarous fruad happend to me. 18884813436 I believe is the real Fido CX service number, this number called me and hang out in 3 sec. right after this missed call another number(fraud), 8884813436 (only missing the 1 from the real number). called me said he is working for FIDO and someone used my ID to create a new fido number to trying fraud other peopel and will close my current number blablabla ( fake story). luckily I am not that dumb to give him any of my personal infortion. I want explaination from FIDO and investgations for my case
1. How a fraud call number is exactly same with real fido cx service number (only without the 1, which I think is canada county code)?
2. How this fruad guy can call me right after a real fido cx service number ( I am reasonably guessing someone inside fido working with him together trying to fruad me).
3. This fruad guy know my real name, real email address, the time I have my fido cell phone . how does he get it?
I am very angry and concern about privacy protection FIDO provided to the cx. I am living in BC and one of my best friend living in ON, he has a very similar scum like this one.
and I need a resonable investigation about my case that is my personal information leaking from FIDO? or someone is FIDO is working with criminals.
I want explaination from FIDO ASAP

I phoned Fido, Fido said frauder can use some technolodge to change their real number to be pretended as Fido customer service number.
November
Same, they just kept calling, either with caller display of 18884813436 or chinese fido 18668883436
November
I have been receiving calls from the same number every second day, including weekends. Even when I hang up, this number continues to call back, and it's becoming quite insistent.
I answered once, and the caller claimed to be from Fido customer service, asking if I speak Chinese. What's particularly concerning is that the number appears to be identical to Fido's official customer service number, including the +1 prefix. This situation is rediculous and frustrating.

Yeah some fido employee leaks account information to fraudsters according to Office of privacy commissioner of Canada:
{For instance, during the first phone call, the fraudster provided the Complainantās phone number, but the wrong name. The CSRon this call responded to the fraudster by disclosing the Complainantās name. Over the course of the call, the CSR then supplied the fraudster with additional information including the Complainantās account number, date of birth, address, and the number of phone lines associated with the account. We note that, pursuant to Fidoās authentication protocol, the information disclosed during this first call is information that would typically be used to authenticate a caller. In fact, the information the CSR supplied the fraudster during the first call is precisely what fraudsters used to continue to gain access to the Complainantās account in subsequent phone calls to Fido.}
I think now we have the proof that some employees are in teams with fraudsters.
