eBay card Scam
I just spent 29 minutes on the phone with “James” who is now my personal DTV representative. He said if I get $510 worth of eBay gift cards and call the DirecTV billing department at 877-974-7750 that I will have no bill for 6 months and my new bill after 6 months will be only $85 for the next 2 years. Plus I will get $100 visa prepaid gift card sent to me by FedEx which will be delivered Monday IF I pay with the gift cards tonight. If I want the 50% off rate of $85 I can pay $1020 in eBay gift cards tonight and I will get a $300 visa prepaid card on Monday from fedex. He also said he put channel 558 on my TV and had me turn the receiver off and then back on and it came on. I’m happy I looked this scam up before I followed thru with this!!

My point is that the scammers asked for my 4 digit password, which doesn’t even exist for DTV. I didn’t remember one, but guessed and gave them a common one I use for other accounts. They accepted it (of course) to deeply put in the hook. DTV doesn’t have a 4 digit code. I made a word passcode to use over the phone.

Yes, I get you didn't have one for DirecTV, but was mentioning for others where that may come from as can be a legitimate question for others.
I would then change it for all those accounts as now scammers have a legit one.
