Nope, that’s a scam. A scammer from India or another third-world country called you pretending to work for DIRECTV. It sounds like you may have fell for the scan (unfortunately).

Directv Stream nor any other streaming/TV provider will not have you do that.  If I was you I would contact whatever card company you made the payment through and dispute the charge and get a new card as they now have access to your account and could take more money.  Hope this helps you!

Sad to say that you got scammed. Hopefully you didn't provide them any personal information, such as bank or credit card information.

Not DirecTV or DIRECTV STREAM employee, but definitely a scam. You are never required to pay months up front and there is no 50% off special. Also you are never contacted for discounts. Only when you call the official customer service number do you discuss your account.

Unfortunately this is a common scam that has been going on a few years. It really picked up steam since the pandemic.
