Scam or Legit?
Not sure what board to post this on, as its rather odd that this has happened in general. Been getting a windows pop up claiming my card is no longer working and needs to be fixed. Not an email..a fu...
IF, IF, Hughesnet finally fixed the messages system, you will occasionaly get a popup, or a redirect when a payment is past due, and your credit/debit card information has expired.
The following things can cause a card to no longer be valid.
1: If an expiration date has been reached.
2: If the security code on the back of your card is no longer the same.
3: If your financial institution has blocked the charge.
I wouldn't click the links nor call that number, but would do the following to ensure my card information is accurate.
1: At the top of this website go to My Account
2: Click on Account Information on the pop-down
3: Under Payment Type at the bottom click on Update
This will allow you to re-enter your information, if these messages are from hughesnet, it may take 24 to 48 hours before the system stops generating those popups.
Card isnt expired nor has anything been changed. It's funny because I don't even pay my bill through hughesnet...its bundled through Direct TV
After looking closer at the image, that is in fact a real message from Hughesnet...
You may want to make sure your billing information is up to date through both DTV and Hughesnet, as Hughesnet has apparently marked your account for having inaccurate payment information.
