Know what?
I didn't get it!
Maybe because I am a Dish employee, they figured I'd read it at work (I did). I have no numbers to support it, but it feels like there's been a lot of fraud this summer. As everyone has stated, it seems to target international customers. I know Dish has closed some loopholes in regard to accessing someone's online account, it's harder to get in now, and I also know there has been additional training and some changes in how accounts are handled when a customer (or someone pretending to be them) calls in.
Stating the obvious: Dish makes very few outbound calls. When in doubt, call us back.
