Let's just say, a certain company that ends in -cast, is being shady.
A person called the house offering free HBO and Cinemax as a new offer, for 60 days, with 5$ the next 6 months after that, cancel anytime.
She asked for no personal information and said it would be installed within three to five business days.
So, two weeks later, I call this company and they deny ever advertising this.
Has anyone else received this offer?
Would a random person really just go around offering fraudulent deals, without asking for personal information or any real scam stuff?

What Doc said.
I used to work for a cable co and the sales dept was a mess. No 2 people in the same office would give you the same answer concerning any offers that may be on. Additionally, 3rd party telemarketing companies were often employed to generate business, and the license they were given was f-ing ridiculous.
As you might expect, cable co.s lose customers at a fair old rate, and in order to keep the business model viable they need to sign up people on minimum length contracts to make up for that loss.
If I were you I'd be more concerned about some flump in a boiler suit turning up out of the blue, installing cable and then finding out you're getting charged the regular full prices.
If anyone tries to install anything, refuse unless you can get a written copy of your terms and conditions that state clearly and unambiguously how much you will be paying.
May god have mercy on your soul...
