I called the number on a flier advertising Dish Network TV to sign up for service for my elderly mother. The flier has Dish Network all over it, but the company I called was not Dish Network, but a "third party vendor" called Satellite Sales (aka The Elephant Group) who sells Dish Network Service. The sales reps are dishonest and will lie to you to get you to sign up. They will tell you anything, and after you've signed up, and talk to Dish Network you find out that none of what the sales rep from The Elephant Group told you is true.
But the worst thing they do is get your credit card number and bill you for a "service" they sell called E-Club or Homes Club, which is a useless "protection" service. I was never asked if I wanted this service, was never sent an invoice or contract, and this company has been billing me every three months for $19.23 for something I never agreed to. I found out about this scam over a year after they had started billing me and now they've stolen $134.43 from me.
This company is ripe for a class-action suit, as is Dish Network for continuing to use this vendor. BEWARE OF SIGNING UP FOR DISH NETWORK THROUGH A THIRD_PARTY VENDOR! They will lie to you and rip you off.
