About 15 minutes ago, a young man wearing a black short sleeved shirt with the Dish Network logo on the sleeve, came to my door. He said they were canvassing the area due to many complaints about the cost of Dish, and also that my equipment needs to be updated. He said all equipment must be updated by the end of December (or else face a penalty), and wanted to enter my house to check my equipment box. I refused, and then he said I should have received an email explaining why he was coming to the door. I sent him away, and immediately called Dish. The representative of the consumer fraud department said they would NEVER send someone randomly like that, and to NEVER give personal information or even worse, let someone in your home. This was a scam! Be alert and don’t even answer your door if approached.
