Ummmm, they do provide channel lists for every package so you can easily see what you are paying for
BEFORE signing up for the service just as Comcrap and all the rest do. It's not a scam if all the info is easily available. Just have to do a little due diligence before signing on the dotted line and take some responsibility for not looking before crossing the street.
BTW, those DirecTV calls are not SCAM calls, they are SPAM calls and are annoying outsourced contracted sales calls and have been going on for many years. If people wanted to scam using DirecTV is a pretty lousy choice to make scam money. Having been a DirecTV call center Tech Support trainer in a past life we had always been hearing complaints about them.
EDIT: Rereading the OP that is a different call than I was referring to however running a receiver check provides little useful information. What they may be trying to do is get the Rx ID to setup a streaming app to sell using your RxID but not even sure that would work without account info.
