I was a customer in good standing with Direct TV for nearly two years when I recived a call from one of their salesman. He told me that Direct TV is giving 3 month of free HBO/Starz to selective customers in good standing. I asked him what the catch was and if he was signing me up for anything else. He said "NO" that Direct TV was doing this hoping that I will have like the service and would decide to subscribe to these services after the trial period ended and if I did not decide to subscribe, then that was the end of it. So, I said yes. What he appearantly sold me without telling me was a two year contract to NFL Season ticket with a hefty price tag. The funny thing is that he sold this service to me of all people who doesn't even watch football.
When I got my next bill and saw the charge, I called Direct TV and objected that this was nothing more than a bait-and-switch swindle, they refused to reverse the charges.
I am putting this here so hopefully some other person doesn't get swindled by Direct TV crooks.
