Technician Rewired Home Without Permission, Suspected Tapping

I asked for a tech to come out to readjust my dish. The tech, without my permission, re-wired my entire home outside and inside. He changed all telephone lines and cables from the box to the TV, and tapped into my phone and computer in order to have me monitored by DirecTV's fraud department. What gave me a hint that something he did was wrong is that when others tried calling my home number, my phone would not ring at all. I was without dial tone for 2 days. When it was restored on its own without help from the local phone company, I started hearing other conversations, a time ticker appeared on my caller ID screen, and I noticed my alarm system had been disabled.

There is a freshly drilled hole in my basement wall with cables running from my ADT box. I also found a website showing equipment used to monitor calls, and the tech mistakenly left some equipment in my home. I also researched a company to come to my home and scan for other devices, and I fit the criteria of such, such as numerous w/ darkened windows parked in front of my home, telephone features not working, and noise and clicking on the line.

Beware: an $8.00/hr tech can falsely report you and illegally tap your phone lines. DirecTV states there is no fraud list, but look on the DirecTV website. I will be paying over $1000 for a home scan, $25.00 for ADT to reconnect my alarm system, and fees to have DirecTV's cable lines removed from my home. By the way, I was able to view DirecTV's programming without a dish after the tech wired my home. Please beware!!!
