I received a text message saying my auto payment did not go through. This is a number affiliated with my area code. Obviously, not AT&T, but someone gullible may fall prey to this scam.

I received a text message that said "FRM AT&T Subject: Unsuccessful payment" It gives a number to call to pay and resolve this. I called my local AT&T first to verify this, and they said that it was a scam and they’ve been receiving several calls the past few days over this.

Message stated from AT&T.

“Payment Blocked” call 1-888-312-6806. Sounded like an automated voice. Requested verification of personal information and my credit card # to verify my account. Realized too late after my info was given that I needed to inform my local AT&T to verify if message came from their company. According to My local branch this was a prank not generated by them.

The person called stated he was calling from ATT fraud department, someone had made a purchase on my account buying 2 I-Phones trying to send them to a different address in NY that’s why he was calling me, and they needed to stop shipment, and he would send a code to my phone, and need I tell him what the code was, I gave him the code, then he asked for my PIN I was weary at first, I gave him that as well; at the same time I was calling ATT from my husband phone and when he heard the Music from the phone he hung up. He had hacked into my account, that’s how he knew some of my information he was changing my information buying the cell phones. just BEAWARE he sounded like a true agent but was a FRAUD

Automated phone call asks for the last 4 digits of your Social and your AT&T account password. Then once your full AT&T credit card number so it can be reactivated.

I received an email from AT&T services stating that I had an order and it referenced my account number with AT&T. When I called AT&T they stated that I had no orders placed and that it seems that this was a scam. When I look at my order status through my AT&T website account it states that there is an order open through an alternate method and that it does not have information regarding the order. I never placed an order with AT&T. I have had my account with AT&T for several years. I changed my password for my AT&T account

Scammer keeps calling my parents house, claiming to be ATT, caller ID even uses ATT customer service number. Claiming that our service has been compromised, BUT we havent had ATT im several years. Clearly a scam. Do not give any personal information until this is resolved!

Received cell phone call with my name appearing as the caller. Recorded message indicated it was from AT&T (who would have my name as the holder of that assigned number) updating security, and asked me to enter the last four digits of my social security number. Message was very professional and efficient. I immediately called AT&T after the call to confirm its legitimacy, and the call was cut off partway through accessing a rep.
