DISH Network scam. Individual posing as DISH tech support knows your name and address, and the fact that you are a DISH subscriber (how? I don't know). Asked to identify himself, the individual mentions the package you are subscribed to, and your monthly payment. Individual proceeds to offer an upgrade package to your current DISH receiver for a one-time fee of $250 in exchange for a $30 monthly rebate for 12 months (too good to be true - of course). Individual then "transfers" your call to "supervisor", who asks for credit card number for the one-time upgrade. Called DISH to confirm that no such offer exists, and that no accredited DISH tech support attempted to call me.
