Direct TV Billing scam?
I got a call (actually several) from Direct TV saying they had to upgrade the software in my box. I ended up talking to Robin who told me about updating my software, and about a reducing my monthly bill. BUT, they wanted me to send them a check for the upgrade services. He could not (actually hung up on me) when I asked him why he could not just handle this through their normal billing. Either this is a scam or Direct TV is really screwed up!

It is a scam and it wasn’t Directv who called. I hope you didn’t give them any account information. FYI, there is no charge for software upgrades. Those happen automatically.

DirecTV doesn't call you. Software updates are automatically provided through the satellite feed. Software updates don't cost you money. That absolutely was a scam.
And if you ever see something listed as Direct TV that is a scam also. The brand is DirecTV.
