Dear Socki,

Recently several DISH customers have reported that people claiming to be representatives of DISH have contacted them in an attempt to collect money for special promotions or upgrades. We have discovered that these callers are often asking for credit card numbers or requesting payments via Western Union or Green Dot.

This message is to remind you that DISH will never call you asking for this or any other personal information or information related to your DISH account. If you receive a call requesting a payment in exchange for a promotion or upgrade, we encourage you to disconnect the call and contact us directly at 800-333-DISH (800-333-3474).

As a reminder, the forms of payment that DISH accepts are:

* Credit card
* Debit card
* Electronic funds transfer
* Check by mail
* Cash through any retail store that offers:

* MoneyGram Express Payments
* IPP (In Person Payments)
* PreCash
* CheckFreePay
* ACE Cash Express
* Western Union Prepaid Services*



*If you make a payment through Western Union, you will receive a 10-digit Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN). DISH will never ask for this number.

Thank you for being a valued DISH customer.

Just a heads up.

See, now a SMART scammer would take that e-mail, and add an additional line..

If you believe you were scammed by these unauthorized transactions, please reply to this e-mail with Name, Credit Card Number and Security Code from the back of the card used. We promise to get to the bottom of this and get all illegal transactions covered for you.

Scam the not so bright twice over the same scam!

If there is an authentic promotion or upgrade, always ask for hard copy literature; sent in the mail. Simple :shrug:
