Dish Networks? SCAM

So last night I received a phone call asking for me by name (not by my moniker) asking if I wanted to make money on the Internet. I was in a bit of a rush, but figured I could listen in to see what this “scam” was about.

I didn’t get the full story, because I had to leave (and hung up on the sales pitch), but whoever the middle company was, was going to set up a web site for me with ads for Dish Networks and some other dish company and then if anyone clicked on the ad AND bought a Dish subscription, I would get $125 in commission.

Sounded interesting, and if I had more time I might have kibitzed a bit more, however one question that concerned me before I heard the sales pitch was, “Do you have a valid credit card?”, WTF? I said Yes, without thinking, but did not give out any numbers, but why do they want to know that?

My guess would be that when the sales pitch was given to me, then I would have to pay for “up keep” on the “web site” they set up for me, etc.,. I was going to ask if they simply wanted me to put an ad up on my web site, however, since I didn’t have time, I never asked.

Wonder how they got my name directly? Have to watch for this one. Next time I am going to ask.
