Got a call say it was DIRECTV and I needed to upgrade system. They needed 49.95 to send tech. With new equipment to my house. I stated I would call DIRECTV direct to pay fee and ***g up. they called back on this number and stated that they were in charge of up grade and I’d be sent back to them and they were trying to save me a long wait to contact CS at DIRECTV it would be much easier for me to pay them so we could stay at top of list for up grade. I then ***g up.
