calls from ATT
How do you determine if a call is from ATT? I recently got a call from 870-288-2020 about an installation. This whole process started about 2 weeks ago, first in my wife getting a call stating that ATT was wanting to update our direct tv system, later I got a call and was told that ATT/Direct TV was going to update my equipment, would contract with Hudges.net to get me better internet (i currently have DSL with ATT, it is terrible). After a long speil about how all these improvements would be happening at no cost, and that in fact I would get discounts, I was asked several questions to verify my account, one being what was my social security number. I immediately sent this info to ATT (this past Friday) and have yet to get any information directly from you. Is this a scam?

Hughes net is a satellite ISP and has nothing to do with DTV/AT&T.

In short, unless you are expecting a call from ATT because of some problem or issue you contacted them about and they promised to call you back, the call is not from ATT. It sure sounds like your call was a scam call.
