Avis d’expert
Reports consistently describe unsolicited calls demanding $249.99 for a supposed Dish Network software upgrade on customer hardware. Official Dish representatives confirm this tactic as fraudulent, emphasizing they never request prepayments via phone. Victims often encounter aggressive pressure or threats of service disruption. Block the number immediately to prevent further contact, and report incidents to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or Dish support directly. Verify any upgrade needs through your official account portal rather than responding to cold calls. Enabling call screening features on your phone can filter out such nuisances proactively, safeguarding personal and financial details from scammers.
