it is illegal to call on any other day except on business days as in Mon-Friday only between the hours of 8-8
the law is stated on the FTC website so know the laws and tell them that they are violating a Federal Law and to stop calling....they have to do so...I took two companies to court and won because they didnt listen when I said to stop calling

I don't even have Direct TV and they keep asking for someone name Edward. I want to know why can't they have a customer service button for me to dail.

Um, fyi, it's not illegal for bill collectors to call on sundays. maybe you should get your s*** straight before talking out of your a**

MZB- You are missing the point. NEVER call back a number you get in an email or phone message. Credit card? call the number on the card, or statement. Over due bill? call the number on your statement. Phone numbers & web sites are easily faked. NEVER call back a number you don't know & NEVER give out information on a call you didn't make.

For those of you saying its a scam, its not.  It really is directv, I only know this cause we are late this month and I answered it listened to recording and called the main number back, not the one they gave me and told them when payment would be made.  They said I will receive calls until the payment is made.  Sometimes people give wrong number to companies thinking they wont be calling me.   I recently started receiving mail (postal) from a storage building company and it was some other persons name though.  We received more than 3 I returned all saying return to sender.  So I called them from searching the companies name on the envelope and I explained there is no person here by that name.  They explained that someone gave our address as their home address.  I'm like nope I can fax a copy of the front page of our lease for proof of who lives here and that wasting their time, my time and paper!   They took a storage building and put it somewhere cause it wasnt on our property ever!  So strange things do just randomly happen cause of typos or just people who lie about there address or phone number!  You know what happens next when they have your address, they reverse search it and start calling! Good Grief it can be a nightmare!  Being we are renters and I like it that way lol I need change every so often, we run in to crazy stuff like this.  

but as for the phone number IS FOR Directv its really not a scam!

ITS DIRECT TV AND THEY ARE REMINDING YOU TO PAY YOUR BILL VIA AUTOMATED VOICE. IT'S NOT A SCAMMER OR PHISHER.

PS.. THEY DO CALL ON SUNDAYS. IF YOU TRY TO TELL THEM ITS SUNDAY AND ILLEGAL TO CALL TO COLLECT ON SUNDAYS THEY WILL JUST SAY ITS A COURTESY CALL/FRIENDLY REMINDER, ETC.

It's not DirecTV ... I don't even have DirecTV ... it's a phishing scam.    AND the same outfit calls using either 877 or 866 numbers ... but always the same message to call with your DirecTV account #, your phone #, and a credit card for payment.   Some organization is phishing ... ID theft if you give them any info, you'd be walking right into their trap.

Yes, it is Direct TV. Bill was late, and I didn't know it so I thanked them for the reminder!

This was Directv.  Automated courtesy call to to remind you that your account is due.

scam
I don't even have a direct tv account. I tried to call the number back even though they called on a Sunday, and said that their hours are "mon - fri blah blah blah".

This is NOT direct TV!  My account is current.  They also show on caller ID as Unknown Name.  The automated recording wants me to enter the number associated with my account, or my account number.  They are calling me!  Why would they not properly be ID'd on caller ID,  why do they want me to enter my phone number?  Direct TV requires their customers to have a credit card on file.  It sounds like a phishing scam to get to the credit card info.   I have not entered the info they request.  I just hang up and call Direct TV.  Each time I am told that DIRECT TV HAS NO NOTES ON MY ACCOUNT INDICATING THAT THEY HAVE CALLED ME.  This is a phishing scam!

They are paid, I am not behind and they called.  I got an email about privacy and new contract.

My Metro PCS caller ID read, "800 Service". While it is a ?toll free? prefix, it "877", not an "800' #.  Many are unaware of the idiom ?GIGO?, (?Garbage In=Garbage Out?).  While it isn?t rocket science, lacking formal knowledge of data management or information processing fundamentals existing in many who are granted rights beyond the safety of Search functions carelessly (and erroneously) Add files or Edit existing records. Without careful quality control, it doesn?t take long for what used to be a working database crucial to those who need and use the data to evolve into nothing more than garbage itself.  I am a stickler about this because I have seen perfectly good databases ruined as far as their ability to be utilized for name searches and this done by ignorant individuals who have no regard for the lowly ?data entry operators? who make less money nor do they regard the importance of accuracy and limited access to a company?s most important asset besides human resources-its Information.  When the system no longer works any faster than if one were searching many pages of hard copy data as the user must eventually glance at every name beginning with the same first letter to identify the existence of certain files-which is the same as not having a computer except the computer produces the list from which the operator must ?read? each name consecutively.  Hindsight usually leads to more respect for the handling of information and a greater appreciation for those who are formally trained to process data caring enough to keep it as accurate as possible. I simply called the number back and heard, ?_____ ___ for calling us back.  For security purposes, please enter the telephone number associated with your DIRECTV account followed by the pound sign.?  It repeats a few times and then requests the telephone number where you originally received your service, music then comes on as if one were on hold for an operator.  The first two words are likely "Thank you." They are missing on the recording.
