Thought I was calling DISH network to report a problem with my receiver. The whole time I thought I was talking with a DISH rep, but a few days later I received a whole new Direct TV system.  After several phones call I finally got it straightened out but what a mess! Never give out your information to anyone! And how are these companies interceding these calls.  Be careful!

Yep same thing happened to me. I called 1888 instead of the correct 1800 333 DISH.  I thought it was Dish Network, gave name and home address. Caller answered Dish. So I thought it was legit. I asked about technical issues and he tred to sell me Direct TV. I begged for him to delete my information numerous times he said on I will. He then tried to sell me ADT home security. I said just delete my info I want nothing to do with his scam. We hung up. Not less than 30 minutes later, after calling the real dish and filling a complaint, I get a call purported to be Protect Your Home Security. I explained that telemarketing is illegal. She said she was trying to sell me home security. I said that's telemarketing. She hung up. They are affiliated. File at sate complaint with State Attorney General and Do Not CAll List.

Was calling direct tv today and I guess this company intercepted the call. They answered and told me they were with Direct TV asked for my  phone number and address and then proceeded to tell me that they were sending me a free Visa giftcard in the mail and that they had a great deal for me with ADT, weird thing is I had just gotten off the phone with ADT...I dont know asked them not delete my info...not sure if they actually did or not.
