When I called they said I got qualified for a security system and they acted like dish network then my mom called and they said they were directv and then I called back and she said they were neither they were home security and they got my social and address and name I'm scared and when I argued with them they were very unperfessional this is a scam I can't believe I fell for it

There was an actual class action suit settled in WA and I received the same email. I went to Dish and recieved an alert when I logged in giving me 3 choices to choose from on the settlement. The number in the email is the real dish phone number....you might want to log into your account get a number from the Dish.com website and see if the email is real. I agree not to respond to the email but the phone number in the email I got was a real dish number.

I just got a fradulent alert email from these dishonest peole pretending to be DISH. They said I had to get new eqipment for free or my account would be closed because of a class action suit in Washington. Something didn't sound right so I went to the Dish site and saw nothing about it. I'm glad others have reported these people so we can avoid a nerve racking encounter with them.

They called me , I could not understand the person on the other end of the line to save my sole. when I asked her to press one for english she hung up, when did we move..... really annoying these persons, go back to where you came from.

Just got a call from this number, did not answer as we don't answer unknown callers and numbers on Caller ID.  It came up with the name "Joshua Ahrens".  Just dropped DISH Network after fighting with them for 3 days over service promised but not delivered.  Never going back to either DISH or Direct-they both are a bunch of liars and guilty of fraud.

I can bet you work for those S.O.Bs and you are just trying to swipe some attention. I called and that person said he is from Dish and I knew its not true. just checking them and they are in that s****y business for long time.

I worked for XSatellite in it's hayday when it was using the 888-333-DISH number. I did my best to represent myself honestly but in the end quit because they made a rule that we had to collect your personal info on every call first thing. I felt it was dishonest to collect info when they thought they were calling the DISH and so quit after being reprimanded for not getting everyones info. I get that they were charged a good amount for every call (licensing the number) but it was a bad policy. I had great sales listening to problems and identifying myself as DirecTV before they purchased anything.
The warranty we offered was legit and a better deal than what they would get through directv. Our customer service was far better than anything offered through directv because we would hear the complaints and knew exactly how to get the best credits for our customers at directv.
It was mandatory for every customer to be told at least once during the call that they would be switching to DirecTV. They were given our names and extensions.
The collecting of information, while legal, since it was freely given, was a bad policy. And I'm sure some warranties were charged and reversed occasionally. As some reps would get a bonus anywhere from $50-200 cash a day for hitting certain targets. And if it was reversed they'd still keep the bonus. The majority of employees though were hard workers and would be entirely on the level with the customers. And there were many satisfied customers from our switching them from DISH. In some cases we even managed to get them out of contracts free to switch. Or at least get them a credit of $100+ on their 1st or second bill.
All in all, yeah it could be a bit shady, but the good outweighed the bad, at least in my experience. I heard though shortly after I left they quit the DISHeption and switched to commercial DirecTV sales.

I got a call from 1-8883333474 and asked to pay rental surcharge amount for the items borrowed from Dish. I don't have any Dish or any dish network connection. Further they asked to confirm my personal details including last digits of SSN, How this is possible, all FAKE. Be careful.

Got a call from this number 2 days in a row.  The first day, they said I owed Dish $66. They said they would take my number out of the system as I don't have Dish.  The next day, they said I owed $85.00.  Again they said they would remove my number.  Yeah, right.  

They called as a Dish Network as I "was making a payment". They tried to switch me to Direct tv which I found very odd.

THE SCAM PHONE # IS 888 333-DISH.   THE REAL NUMBER IS 800 333-DISH

I received a VERY convincing flyer today with the DISH logo all over it with a discount for Show time. THEY DID NOT IDENTIFY the company but immediately asked for my phone #, name and address and if I had been a customer for over 2 years. She said she could upgrade my service for 3 months, new equipment and then she said I had reached DirectTV. I called repeatedly to get a supervisor, they wouldn't put me through. I will be reporting this to a consumer agency for fraud. Dish phone number is 800 (not 888) 333-3474.

Just found out they took money out of my account as well.

Thanks for posting, guess you and all the others saved me a lot of GRIEF.

Thanks to all that posted here.


Thank you almost(did) fall for it but at last sec checked. They fooled me totaly. Glad i listened to the little voice in the back of my head.

I received a call from this number. 800-333-3474. Offered a good TV deal through Dish Networkl. I said I was interested but that I wanted to see a contract with the prices, channels and the cast staying the same. He assured me that all was good. I gave them my name and address but when he asked for my SS number I said no. He said all companies need that. I said that I was not giving it out over the phone. He said he had to have it. I said no, not interested any more. He said to call him back. I said no. He called me back. I said I had look the number up on line and did not like what I found  and I was not interested, hung up. He called me back. I said do not call me back. He called back and said if you don't want to give me your SS #, give me your date of birth. I said I am done dealing with you guys. Anyone that asks for your SS # over the phone is not legit. You would be foolish to give it to them, period. Not sure what is up. but it is questionable at best. I would stay clear. Jim

I was experience with American Premiere Satellite was different.  I was tricked into signing up for DISH.  I had to cancel my Direct TV and had to pay $250 for canceling my contract early.  I'm filing a complaint with the BBB.

I called this number to ask how to program a different remote and received the same deceptive spill without paying attention until she asked for my social security number to see if I qualify. I questioned who I was speaking to and she stated that she is a outsource marketer for direct TV.  She also said she could give me a genie and the package with the most channels plus 7000 of Netflix for only $60.00 a month. This is very dishonest and a fraudulent practice.  Is there a way to stop this company, perhaps with the better business bureau?

I just got this same call stating my Dish TV was past due and to call it
1-800-333-3474

I did that.
Eric answered saying "tech support"
I asked "tech support for who?"
He didn't have an answer so I asked him "are you Direct or Dish TV?"
He said he is a sales tech and would be happy to answer my questions if I would give him my phone number (I had *67 before calling them back)

He then asked if I was happy with my current TV provider
Said yes I am very much
Eric: How much do you pay for your service?
Me: "ZERO!"
Eric: "How can that be $0?"
Me: I own a HD ANtenna so there's no f***king way this call from you and the company you work for is legit and I am reporting this call and this number in 1-800 Notes

Someone called from dish network to my home...my child answered the call....the pathetic rep did a child harrassment over the phone...what an idiot!!!!....no sense of humanity....they are the rotten rats on this beautiful earth.

have no idea how they got my bank info. I'd like to find the f**ker that did this and spill some blood until they are bled dry.

they took money out of my bank account and that is the first time I'd ever heard of them.Turning them in for fraud as I type.

I see what the problem is for me & some people not paying close attention. When I put the 1-800-333-3474 number in the Google browser it gives me both 1-888 first then 1-800 and then alternates down the listing. The devil is in the details!

Same thing just happen to me

I have had this happen so many times and it should be illegal. I'm glad people are calling them out

Creepy phone call. The guy "Your wife is cute like a Barbie doll.  I like your wife"
Do not do business with who ever is behind this number!!

this guy calls me and starts going on about crap like telling him the id of my receiver or he will fine me $1000, i hung u, he called back and kept forcing me to get my ID even though it is in a box somewhere in my house, he then rudely said that i don't know anything and hung up.

You sir, are a f****ng liar.

After getting a few clearly junk calls from above and reading the info from others, I made a contact from their 800# that shows up as "Fraud DoNotAnswer" to remind me for next time.
