I've been getting several solicitation calls from DBSatellite
companies wanting to sign me up with a deal including a "Tivo DVR".
Usually I hang up on the recording.
This time I pressed "1" and was connected to a young man who
answered "hello" and wanted to know if I wanted to take the deal.
I told him I didn't know the details yet but, was he really offering a "Tivo".
Oh, Yes, he said.
I pursued, "are you sure it is a Tivo brand name"
Oh, Yes, he said again.
Are you SURE?" I said.
He said, Well, it's a DVR; "Tivo" and "DVR" are the same thing.
I disagreed.
He asked, "Did you go to school?" "Are you just fooling
around". Then he hung up.
Anyone know where I send this scam to for investigation.
The phone number did not ID.
Best,
Robert
