DirecTV‑impersonating scam calls—how to stop them!
Summary — +18553081886
Expert Opinion
Repeatedly, callers using the 855‑308‑1886 number present themselves as DirecTV and hang up or offer free channel upgrades. The pattern of silent drops, multiple daily rings, and no voicemail points to a scam rather than legitimate service. Avoid sharing account numbers, PINs, or payment details; verify any offer by contacting DirecTV directly through official channels. Activate your carrier’s spam‑filter, add the number to a block list, and consider a third‑party robocall‑blocking app. If you suspect fraud, report the number to the FTC and your phone provider. Keeping a log of call times can help authorities track abuse.
