So I've heard of the scams where someone calls you and tricks you into saying yes or agreeing to something.
It seems I may have just fallen for 1. Has anyone else fallen for 1 and what happened?
I got a call that showed up as Directv (which I do have). They were saying for being a loyal customer, they would give me some premium channels for free for a month, and then I would have to pay for them after the first month unless I canceled it.
I had been dealing with Directv lately for other stuff, so not really thinking, I agreed to it.
Afterwards I looked it up the number online and saw people saying it was Directv, but it wasn't free. They were getting the channels added to their accounts, but it was not free. Some people said it was not Directv.
I called Directv and asked about it and they seemed to indicate they did not make this call and would investigate it. so it sounds like a phone scammer of some sort.
Just curious what I should expect if this was really not Directv? I assume I'll get a bill for something I didn't actually want?
