The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is warning people about scammers making robocalls offering discounts of 40 to 50% on phone, television or Internet services, often posing as AT&T, Spectrum or Comcast Xfinity. In order to get the discount, you are told that you need to get gift cards and provide the numbers to the scammers to pay for the greatly discounted services. Often scammers may also ask for your present account information for the companies on whose behalf they say they are offering the discount in order to apply the discount, but the truth is that, in that situation, they will take that information to hack into your account.
TIPS
An easy way to determine that this is a scam is to remember that no legitimate company asks for payment through gift cards. Only scammers do this because it makes it easier for them to launder the money they are scamming from you.

Finally, if you think a particular discount promotion might be legitimate, merely go to the website of the real company and you will be able to confirm whether or not such discounts are being offered. Don't use the phone number or URL provided by the caller.
