Letter to the Editor: More phone fraud on the loose in Odessa area

To the Editor:

Here is another example of phone fraud: I received a call this week from someone claiming to be from Dish Network. He said they were sending me updated equipment and needed my credit card number as “insurance”. I have autopay, so I asked him to give me the last four digits of my number. He gave two sets of numbers neither of which were correct. When I told him I would not give him the number he abruptly hung up. I called Dish and they said they will never ask for a credit card number.
