Description

The caller identified themselves as a representative of Spectrum. We had just called the actual Spectrum Company the day before asking if there were any promotions to lower the cost of our tv and internet bill. This person told us there was a promotion whereby we could lower our bill by half for three years, but we had to pay the first 6 months in advance using Target gift cards. They actually had the correct amount of our bill in their records. They told us if we paid the $600 in Target gift cards within the next 2 hours we would receive a $60 Visa gift card in the mail. We agreed to the set up, but called Spectrum to verify there was an offer. Turned out, our hunch was right. We just want others to know, so they don’t get dipped into spending $600 they don’t have!
