I just saw this email. In the subject it says, Urgent: signal loss detected on your DISH Network system! Hmmm, never saw an email from them that said this....so, I didn't click to allow all the images in the email to show up, and read down further....

Dear Valued DISH Network Customer:

An electronic report generated by your satellite TV system indicates that your receiver is experiencing some technical difficulties. You may or may not notice a problem - however we would like to arrange a complimentary service call to ensure your system is working correctly.

DISH Network strives to make sure every customer has the best television viewing experience, and we believe the complimentary tune up of your system will do just that.

Please click on the link below to schedule your free technician visit.

CLICK HERE-real link, so don't really click on it, ok????

Frequently Asked Questions

“Is my system broken?”

No. Our report indicates your dish antenna is receiving lower-than-normal satellite signal. This may cause programming interruptions, but is easily fixed so that you can get the most out of your DISH Network system.

“What if my system is working fine?”

Your equipment is telling us there may be signal troubles in the near future, even though you may not be seeing any problems right now. We understand that for some customers it may be inconvenient to wait for a technician but we feel a tune up now will avoid a reception problem later. Simply, we just don't want you to miss any favorite programming.

“It only happens during weather so it’s not really that big of a deal.”

Only really severe weather should affect your DISH Network programming. This complimentary service call will help make your system more resistant to weather.

“Will this cost anything?”

Absolutely not! This is a complimentary service offered only to those customers who we believe need some technical tweaking.

“Can’t I just wait until I notice a problem?”

We have available technicians in your area right now. To avoid any future inconvenience -- and a longer wait later -- we recommend that you contact us today.

Well, that is some pretty lame Q&A, eh what??? Couldn't fool too many, but....this isn't the usual spoof/phishing situation. Who cares if they get your passwords! So, is it just to get you to click on the website and give you a virus? Get you to give even more personal information?? Or worse, a way to get someone to walk right into your house???? I tried to sign in to dishnetworks website, and wouldn't you know it, I can't! Their message is almost as lame as the scammers....Unable to logon to system due to technical difficulties. Please try again at a later time.
