Victim Location 75002
Type of a scam Other
Caller ID on my cell phone read “DirecTV” so I accepted the call with the intent to tell them to stop calling. Noisy call center background noise and a gentleman with strongly Indian-accented English informs me that AT&T DirecTV was losing too many customers due to bill fluctuations and are now, with the support of sponsor Amazon, offering reduced rates IF you prepay 2 months service with an Amazon gift card. Riiiiight …
They told me to call back to the AT&T DirecTV “Promotional Billing Department” at 888-901-0168 and give them promotion code dtv1097
A quick Google search shows this is an existing scam.
