(KLZA)-- The Richardson County Sheriff’s Office is alerting the public of a new scam in the area involving Dish Network and their customers.
Area residents are receiving calls from an unknown telephone number claiming to be with Dish Network customer service. The caller then asks the customer for their Dish Network account number and serial number from their Dish Box.
Dish Network says they are not making inquiry calls regarding the account numbers.
Residents are urged not to give any of their account information over the telephone unless you have verified the party on the other end of the phone. Most phone scams are from unidentified phone numbers, out of the area numbers and will request sensitive account or personal information.
