Caller identified as Rahul.
Call came from # 718-715-1064
They had my phone number and knew that I have Dish services. A person (Rahul) with heavy Indian accent called and said they have a Dish network deal, I pay only half of the yearly bill upfront in return for yearly services. So I was asked to make a onetime payment to Dish that’s what the caller initially said. The caller said he does not need any of my account details or personal info. Since nothing sounded fishy I agreed.
Then they asked me my Dish security info. When I refused to give them that they asked for my Dish equipment’s location ID and other details (never give this info, I did not know at that time). They got into my account using this info with Dish customer services. They made an online transfer of $984.00 into my dish account and asked me to go to Bank of America and deposit half of that to the BOA account listed below. This got me suspicious and so I contacted Dish. Dish asked me to stay away from such people and said that after I pay them, they are going to reverse and pull back the money they transferred to my Dish account. So I asked them to take me off their list and that I am not interested in the deal. Dish was right, they reversed the deposit once I let them know that I am not interested.
Beware.
