Incorrect offer?

I was sent an email this morning from Shaw because I am a customer of their internet service. This is the following offer as advertised on my email. 

Great news, we took a look at your account and we have new Internet offers available to you. Switch to Fibre+ Gig Internet for $99/mo1 on a new 2-year ValuePlan2.

When I called the number provided +18882690462 the customer service rep did not know about this value offer and instead she quoted me a higher price than the $99 offer.

I'm curious if anybody else has received the same offer or if it was a mistake on Shaw's part or maybe it was a mistake by the customer service rep who could not provide me with the quoted value price of $99 for fiber plus gig internet.

Yes, that's what I first thought of but the email address and service number are correct. email@shaw.sjrb.ca and 1-888-269-0462. 

 

I guess I'm just frustrated because the offer was a good deal but it's somehow not available to me. I'm glad for the email though, because it has made me research fibre internet and now I will be replacing it for my normal internet. I don't think I'll stay with Shaw though as I am put off by this incident and Bell also offers fibre internet.

@Victor14 To clarify, our official correspondence looks something like this -- username@sjrb.ca. And not email@shaw.sjrb.ca. Please report this phishing email.

Thanks for informing me. I just forwarded the email and reported it as phising. I am worried now because I provided them with my account details. I am also mad because shaw does not list their contact number on it's website, instead opting for chat. I always prefer to call and speak to someone in person. Can you let me know if this number is a legitimate Shaw contact number 1-888-269-0462. This is the number I called, which I thought was Shaw. I will now call Shaw's customer service line you provided me and try to speak to security so that my account is not corrupted.

@Victor14 - In August 2021, my nephew (a Telus Internet customer) received a flyer from Shaw, via Canada Post.

The offer, only to non-current (outside of 90 days) Shaw customers:

  • Fibre+ 500 Internet for $79/month for the first 24 months
  • $50 bonus credit
  • Fibre+ Gateway 2.0 -- the best in-home WiFi Technology [this is the "XB7" cable-modem, with WiFi 6]
  • Call us now to take advantage of this exclusive offer: 1-877-815-9198
  • Add Total TV to your bundle for $50/month for the first 24 months
  • When subscribing to Total TV on a Two-Year Value Plan, customers receive up to 2 complimentary Shaw TV Players

The brochure claimed "Telus PureFibre Internet 300 ... $95/mo".

To me, this sounds like a good deal -- latest cable-modem, two TV players, WiFi 6, and 500/100 Internet.

But, my nephew does not want TV channels -- NetFlix & Apple TV+ is what he streams.
