If you enter your information on it, it will be sent to the scammers behind the bogus website, who will use the information to gain access to your account and use it fraudently.

With access to your account, they may deactivate your device, add their own and rack up international calls and internet usage. They may also steal your identity. If you were tricked into entering your information on the fake and malicious website, please change your password and contact AT&T.
