Just received a call from this number. I immediately checked this site because I never answer calls from numbers that aren't stored in my phone book. Glad to know this is a scam. I'll be blocking this number.
Strange that it may be a DirectTV number, we have that. But, I answered, and the phone hung up. I called the number back to get taken off the call list and was answered by a woman clearly waking up and answering her cell phone......
said it was DirecTv, informing me that my account will now include the 'premium sports package' at no additional cost, and thanked me for being a loyal customer. Didn't ask for any additional account info or anything, so I suppose it was a relatively harmless scam so far. If they already have my name and cell number, they have nothing more after that call.
If they call back and ask for more info, now I'll know.
I got the same call. When I called DirecTV myself, they showed someone had called pretending to be me to order Premium Sports Package which had indeed been added to my acct. This is a scam for online viewing thru our acct. Be sure to change your password when this happens. DirecTV can also set your acct. to indicate "No promo calls" so you know it's fake if you get another one.
