Bruce Policeman Mark Hendrix said they have learned several citizens have received calls claiming to be DirecTV or Dish telling subscribers new regulations require one full year’s service, $360, be paid immediately.
“We contacted both companies and they have said they don’t operate in that manner,” Hendrix said. “This is a scam. People need report any calls like this they received to the police and please don’t send any money.”
If you receive a call of this nature you may call the Bruce Police Department at 662-983-2450 or the sheriff’s office at 662-412-3149.
