Tip 1
When updating your security code, avoid using:
- Sequential or repeating numbers
- Information on public record, like birthdays or your SSN
Tip 2
Be wary of scams in which callers pretend to be an authorized representative of DISH. Scammers will sometimes change their caller ID to disguise their real identity to trick you into giving away valuable information.
If at any time you are suspicious of a caller claiming to be from DISH, hang up and contact 1-800-333-3474
