Received a call claiming to be from Dish they wanted to check what receiver i had, said it was outdated and scheduled a tech to come out. I was told there would be no charge for the equipment but a $150.00 install fee, but to compensate they would tack $20.00 a month of for 1 year, but needed a credit card number to process the order, i would not give it to them and called Dish after and they had no service scheduled.
Strong Indian accent and static line. Caller states he is from Vonage and will be lowering my bill by 50%. Advised I would be receiving an email then call him. I would be charged $120. security deposit for this new promo, and be paid back over four months.
Called and said I need an update on my receiver and would cost $299.00 for new receiver. But my monthly bill would be $36.00 less a month. Called Dish and they said someone called them to say we are having trouble with are receiver. Which we are not. They said it was a scam. Because one they never charge $299.00 for a upgrade. Also the person who called me wanted paid over the phone with a check and I wouldn't give him any info. Also checked with the person who we deal with locally when we have problems said he is still installing the same model number of our receiver to new customers with no problems. He also said this is a scam and to return the receiver ordered when delivered.
Called using the Dish Network ID and phone number. Told us our dish equipment was out of date and we would need new equipment which would result in a $200 deposit to be paid separately after installation. Called Dish. Their records indicated I had called Dish to request the new equipment. Dish took care of the problems
