They offered 50% off my directv/att bill for 24 months with promo code EBAY if I call 855-355-0961 and pay the next 3 months bill with an Ebay card. They pulled up my att acc info somehow.
Called att directly and they said it was a fake promotion.

Caller stated that he was calling from Direct Tv to offer me a promotional offer from Amazon—this would lower my bill for 24 months at $59.99 and will upgrade my package which includes all the movie channels. All that I had to do was go to a store– buy a $300.00 gift card for Amazon. Call them back and pay them the $300.00 gift card — which would pay my Direct Tv up front for 5 months and there after — $59.99 will be charged monthly from Direct Tv. (This person even gave me the names of all the stores that I could purchase the gift card. They would only take a gift card and not money or any other credit card.}
