Scam Description
Scammer called from “my tv “company. They informed me that they needed to upgrade all my cable boxes since they have new software and if I don’t upgrade I will lose my cable service. They would do the upgrade but due to the amount of time it takes to do the upgrade there is a one time fee of $250.92 to cover their costs. This fee willl be refunded after using the tv service for several months.
They ask how I can pay for this. They told me that they take either credit or debit cards. I told him I pay everything by credit card. He said that due to the number of scammers ?? they don’t accept credit cards. He gave me the name of the company, Tech Promotions Inc and the mailing address for the check is PO Box 184, Lewiston, New York,14092.
He said that their main office is in Dallas Texas.
