Type of a scam Phishing
I resisted most of these calls, but finally decided to check into it by calling the number provided. The person answering the phone indicated that I just needed to let them know my monthly fee to qualify and my service contract #. It was estimated that my 'adjusted' monthly fee would be $80, and that all I needed to do was purchase e-BAY gift cards to total 5 months of the 'adjusted' fee, then call back to give the #'s of the gift cards, plus a special code provided at the time of the initial call.
I purchased 2 $200 e-Bay gift cards and called back, provided the special code and the gift card numbers, but was told that the gift cards were not valid and that I could recoup the lost $400 by purchasing yet another $400 of e-Bay gift cards, at which time I would be guaranteed a reimbursement from ATT for the initial $400.
I stupidly complied (so now I am into this for $800), only to be told that I did not supply the information (special code then e-Bay card numbers) in the proper order, so the offer was void--but I could still recoup the lost $800 if I repeated the process yet again--which I did not do.
I did ask the person on the phone if this was a scam--to which they responded that yes, it was a scam.
Then, I received a text message which read: "Dear (my name), We regret to inform you that your services will be interrupted and $2000 penalty charges will be imposed on your account. Kindly call the billing department at 8446854651/8663042015 to resolve the problem. Regards, DTV".
