TrustChekrIs That Rogers Email, Text, or Call a Scam?
Rogers Communications is a legitimate Canadian telecommunications company. Scammers frequently impersonate Rogers by email, text, and phone — most commonly with fake account suspension notices, billing dispute phishing, and fake prize or loyalty reward offers. The CRTC's Unsolicited Telecommunications Rules and CASL apply to legitimate Rogers communications; a Rogers message asking for payment by gift card is not from Rogers.

Trust score: 100 / 100
Rogers Communications is one of Canada's three largest telecom providers, publicly traded on the TSX (RCI.B) and regulated by the CRTC. It is a legitimate company. Scammers impersonate it because Rogers has tens of millions of Canadian customer relationships — meaning a Rogers-branded phishing message has a high probability of landing with an actual Rogers customer.
The account suspension notice is the most common Rogers scam. An email or text arrives warning that your Rogers account is suspended or your service will be cut off due to an outstanding balance. It includes a link to 'pay now' or 'update your payment information.' The link goes to a Rogers-lookalike page that captures your credit card number and billing address. Rogers also appears in prize and loyalty reward scams: 'You've been selected as a Rogers customer to receive a free iPhone — claim it here' — a common smishing template.
The spoofed customer service call is the higher-damage variant. A caller claims to be from Rogers billing or account security and offers a credit or refund for service disruptions — often referencing the real 2022 Rogers network outage which affected millions of Canadians and remains a credible context for the scam. The caller asks for your banking information to 'process the refund' directly. No telecom company deposits refunds directly by collecting banking credentials over the phone; they apply credits to accounts or mail cheques.
How real Rogers communications work: billing notices arrive via email to the address on your account or by mail; account suspension notices appear in your online Rogers account at rogers.com, not only by text. Rogers My Account at rogers.com shows your actual account status. Rogers customer service: 1-888-764-3771. The CRTC's spam reporting system at fightspam.gc.ca covers Rogers-impersonation spam under CASL. Forward suspicious Rogers emails to spam@rogers.com.
A pattern documented by Rogers' own security team: scammers scrape social media for Rogers complaint posts and contact complainants with 'resolution offers' — responding to a public Rogers complaint with a direct message offering help is a known social engineering vector. Legitimate Rogers social media support operates from @RogersHelps on X and the official Rogers Facebook page — verify the account is verified before engaging.
