mine came as a text to win a prize completing a survey for AT&T. The number is 410100019 ... interestingly not a 10 digit number.
oct 11, 2021 @9:51am text message from: 1-410-100-010FRM:NOTICE72233, SUBJ:PIease Contact Us 804-877-1080 ID MSG: RDRGVDZOYEUJVGKPIIQSKRBPHMIOMOYHUFDYIO. Note the misspelling and coded message content. The text source isn't a real phone number, it's missing the last digit (the 1-410 makes it appear like it's a long distance call with 410 area code = eastern Maryland including Baltimore, Columbia, Glen Burnie, Ellicott City, and Dundalk.)

I just received one from 1-410-100-011. It referenced an ATT payment.
Total scam. I received this text from a phone number short one digit: 1 (410) 200-502 AT&T's messages don't come that way, they come from a message code. Tip #1. Tip #2: no legit phone company is going to send you a text written like that. With FRM: and SUBJ: And then no space between ".Call" That's third-world grammar/writing. Tip #3: AT&T will never send you a linked phone number to call. Just like the bank won't. And the credit card company won't. They'll tell you to log into your account and check your status. The number to call on my text was 707-661-8028 btw. One digit off from some of the other texts.
"FRM:AT&T 1-(410) 100-005 SUBJ:Unsuccessful payment.Call 4422850127. MSG:7780" I got this scam.
Had already paid bill (successfully). Number to call on mine was 2192490573. The message came from 1(410)100-004, short one number.
