Is Direct TV offering promotions
I received a call today from someone saying that he was an employee of the Direct TV Promotions Department. He stated that his Promo Dept Operator number was 8018769875. He knew what package I have with Direct TV and how much I pay for it on a monthly basis. He offered me a discount of 80 dollars/month for the next five years. I said yes and he provided me with a confirmation number 9502370446. Then he said that all I had to do to receive this discount was pay a one-time fee of 199 dollars. That’s when I hung up. Is there any validity to this promotion?

First, DirecTV does not offer discounts proactively. Second, you don't pay to get a discount (that is similar to the historical "prince from Nigeria" email scam). And finally, their CEO announced months back that discounts are pulled back as they weed out customers that are too expensive to keep as they are operating at a loss.
So that call was a complete scam. One that is seen often these days.
