Changing Satellite Companies may not be so easy.
DISH will not cancel an account but puts your account "on hold".
What happens, your service charges continue. If you pay by check every month, you're okay, but if you do auto-pay the charges continue on your credit card.
Consumers can write and dispute these charges by writing Dish at:
Echostar

Kan We Help called the 1-403-667-8720 telephone number. Here's the scam......A lady will answer the phone claiming that she is in Ontario, Canada. We gave her a phony name, phony "Winner Code" and "Reference number". She paused to verify it and then began to give instructions for the $120,000 prize.
She said that we were one out of 18 winners. The lotto was in Dublin, Ireland. She gave instructions to buy a Money Order for the $2,845 "clearance fees" and to call back with the Money Order number. Then, you are to mail the Money Order to
Cindy Huffan at 2540 Missan, Ontario, Canada, 83yin5
You are instructed to wait two days to deposit their check and not to tell anyone about the transaction. Your prize will then arrive by UPS. You must have two forms of identification.
