The person said he worked for Direct TV and the had changed Satellite location and that they had to see if my equipment was updated. They had me run a series of tests on my actual box and told me they needed to update it. The service wasn’t going to cost me any money however they kept talking about a $45 charge but was absolutely free told me to write down their phone number and hit his extension his name was John Oliver extension J07855 and he worked in the tech department.By the end of the conversation it had gotten to where I was going to have to give them a one time $199 for renting all of my boxes for my TV and wanted a credit card number at that point that was the end of the conversation for me. So beware of the scam!

He said he was with my cable company and he needs to come in right away to change my box. In a couple of weeks it would stop working. He was going to take my box and give me a better one. I needed to pay him 150. for coming out. But he would lower my bill 30. a month for one year. That is a savings of 360. and I get a better box. I set up the appointment then remembered my cable is with Spectrum no Direct so I called Spectrum and asked if they had to get my box. She was surprised and said the tecs only cost 49. if they did have to come out. She said don't answer your door and call the police. There is nothing my cable company needs from me. Now I am worried and I will be calling the police if he shows up.

They called me with a promotion for reducing my monthly charges for my Direct TV services to 49.95 per month and asked me to buy an Amazon Gift Cars for 300.00 and call in with a verification code. I checked with Google and saw it was a scam so never followed through with their instructions.

Received call on my mobile phone from 800-531-5000. Man with heavy Indian account said he was with DirectTV and they were running a promotion, monthly bill goes to $62.50/mos. but had to listen to the promotion. After hearing what the promotion covered then transferred to promotion manager (also had an Indian accent but not near as heavy) who would give me a promotion code (DTV021812), had to call back to 888-393-7104 and give that code for the price, which would be in effect for 2 years, no contract. (RED FLAGS BLAZING, GOOGLED DIRECT TV SCAM AS HE WAS TALKING) All I had to do was go to my local drugstore and buy a $250.00 Amazon gift card, call that number and give the number to them for my 4 mos payment. If i paid within 24 hours, I'd also get a $100 Visa card. Then I could continue using my current payment method after the 4 mos of no monthly payments. Conversation ended after I told him I didn't believe him.

I'll have to admit it sounded very convincing at first but I wanted to hear everything because there's always a catch, which is exactly what the scammer guy said!
