HARLINGEN - The Better Business Bureau said people claiming to be from Dish Network are calling customers and requesting cash payments.
Harlingen resident Richard Tattershall said he struggles with his health and pays bills off of his savings.
On Tuesday, he received a suspicious call from someone claiming to be with Dish Network. The retiree said he knew something wasn’t right after the caller offered him a $60 monthly deal.
“The offer was that you would have a two-year program of everything they’ve got. Top flight Dish satellite program with everything,” he said.
The caller asked Tattershall for an upfront payment.
“They asked for $300. That to me was enough. A lot of people, including myself, don’t want to hand somebody $300 and find out the next day that it’s gone,” he said.
