ID Theft
problem with dishnetwork? ID theft? what could be wrong?
ok today i got a call from dishnetwork asking for a MR.(name). i told them they had the wrong number again. this is the 5th time this has happend. it seems to happen once a month or so. each time they call they ask for a differant person and i tell them i have had this number for over a year. one time they asked if i wanted to subscribe to dishnetwork and i told them i was allready subscribed to them. well technically my father is but i seem to be the only one who ever watches. the lady this time said she would put my number on a do not call list. i have called back their number and it takes me to the dishnetwork call machine thing. so could dish network be doing this on purpus? is it ID theft? any ideas?

- I think it is very possible that somehow, somebody, somewhere, has already "cloned" your account data and is selling counterfeited DN systems and cards with your customer data on it (DN has been dealing with this sort of fraud for years--it's kinda a funny story but I don't have the time right now). It could be that DN already knows this about your account, but they call each time to verify the information each time they encounter a new account with your phone number on it. If they call you again, ask to speak to a supervisor, and tell them what's going on. I would not give a caller any information on your account unless you are 100% certain that they are calling from DN.
