SCAM ALERT Direct TV Fixed Bill Promotion
Scam Alert!!
Received a call from Direct TV Promotions Department telling me that because they are losing so many customers they are reaching out to the long time loyal customers and offering this promotion.
You will receive 2 years of Direct TV which includes all premium packages for $79.00 because Ebay is promoting this and partnering with Direct TV you have to pay with Ebay Gift Cards and I was asked for $240 in Ebay Gift Cards to pay for 3 Months of Direct TV If I got the cards and paid them today I would receive $100 visa gift card from Direct TV and I would enjoy Direct TV for 2 full years with all basic and premium channels for $79 tax included. They will give you a number to call back if you are skeptical which just puts you in contact with them again.
I asked them to provide me with my pin # to verify that they were indeed AT&T representatives and they could not provide it to me. This is when I provided them with my way of seeing if they wanted to keep lying to me. They do not like it when you speak of their family in compromising situations and they always crack and return profanity's and that is when you know for sure that they are no good low life, sum sucking bottom feeders that need to use their time more productively. There were so many red flags on this one. Stay safe! Don't get Scammed.

I got the call today and I didn't provide them any of my information, but they knew my address and my balance. They even were able to credit my account as a special offer so now my balance is $0.00 even though I had a payment due of $242.00. They credited my account because I agreed to the discount before they told me I had to pay by gift card. It seems to me that Directv's system has been compromised because how else would they know my balance without me providing any information to them and how could they credit my account $242.00 plus add the extra channels. I called the real Directv CS as soon as I hung up with them to report and the CSR verified that my balance is $0.00 and the channels had been added, but she couldn't see the credit to my account. It is all just very strange. The CSR made note on my account, but other than that she didn't seem to concerned that my balance was $0.00 even though I told her I owe $242.00.

Your balance will go back to $242 as soon as the credit gets reversed because the payment is fake.

They already have your info and either called to pay the bill or used another method to pay it.

I just got scammed now they are using target. The sucker I am got the cards and gave them the number but for some reason it didn't go through and they would file a claim on my behalf and refund me the money. I just needed to get another card. The card had been claimed so I am out the money. Thankfully I didn't do it a second time. the number they called on was 316-350-7401
More details. I found the number on google search I was trying to get a replacement remote, and they said I called the sales department so somebody would call me back from the service dept and they did and I assumed it was DirectTV.

Anytime they ask for a gift card, prepaid debt card it will never go through as they want you to give them more money and I would bet that the second card doesn't work either. Remotes are cheaper online.
