Called claiming to be from Directv & that I could get my bill discounted up to 50% for the next 24 months & my services would be the same but would also get free HBO, Cinemax, Showtime. I was asked how much I'm paying & if my services were bundled. I played along and gave them an amount. I was then told my bill would only be 89.99 to include everything (down from $175 I currently pay). I just had to pay 3 months in advance. He then said he would pass me to his supervisor who would give me a code & the ph# to the billing dept. The supervisor ran thru the whole thing with me & said how does that sound? I said too good to be true. She said I just had to go purchase an ebay gift card from one of the national drug stores for the amount of the 3 month bill. I asked her how they were able to do this. She said it was to promote Ebay gift cards and they were sponsoring it. I took all the information & then called Directv after googling the billing phone# & finding it listed as a canadian pharmacy on this site. The lady at Directv talked to the fraud dept & said they had several calls logged about this & that they were investigating it but it definitely was not them. So be smart folks & don't fall for these scammers. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
