Re Scam Texts

I have noticed that I am regularly getting scam texts.  I was wondering what Telus/CRTC is doing to prevent this.  Thank you.

There is absolutely nothing any regulatory body can do about scam texts.

The only thing you can do is not, ever, respond to them or click on any links within them.

Some people recommend changing your number, which you can do up to four times per cycle here, however they'll eventually get access to your new number and start doing it all over again.

One of the causes of this is entering your phone number on web pages for this or that. If you tend to do that, revisit that.
