7076618029 Scam Text Message to Call Same Telephone Number

Question

Answer 1 · July 30, 2020 at 10:39 AM

Mine was a txt from 1(410) 100-003. 300 dollar payment failed. Call AT&T 707 661 8029. Auto payed 2 weeks prior. So they know my carrier and my phone number and the payment amount which changes every month. What else do they know and how did they get the info?

Answer 2 · July 29, 2020 at 12:43 PM

Same scam, different numbers for me. My payment is made automatically-and it's not time for the payment to be made, so it made me immediately suspicious. Mine reads:

1 (410) 200-500

FRM:AT&T

Subj: Unsuccessful payment

Call 6616893381

MSG: 0440

Answer 3 · July 29, 2020 at 12:14 PM

Received the exact same text on July 28. My phone is on a corporate account. It appears as a scam.

Answer 4 · July 28, 2020 at 5:11 PM

Received same text today. They used a different message code. My phone is on a corporate account auto paid monthly. Obvious scam, just wanted to see how many people got this text already.

Answer 5 · July 28, 2020 at 10:03 PM

Answer 19 · July 27, 2020 at 11:15 PM

I got the same text. Knowing my account is on autopay, and has been for YEARS without issue, I DID NOT call the number; instead, I copied the phone number and googled it - which led me here. I’ll simply block the number (I know, usually useless, but worth a try), and delete the text. And hope that it doesn’t turn into a re-occurring thing. :/

Answer 53 · July 27, 2020 at 1:31 PM

Same msg, Sunday morning early.. I checked with AT&T and they said their system was showing no attempted, nor "unsuccessful" attempt at payment, everything o.k. Never before had AT&T given me an area code 707 callback number, this was the first clue. No acct # listed, no amount shown. Obvious scam, but I immediately checked with the real AT&T.

Answer 54 · July 27, 2020 at 1:14 PM

I received the same message...I hope no one responds to this attempt.

Answer 57 · July 27, 2020 at 12:44 PM

Thanks for posting this. Glad to have checked this out first before calling. The text is certainly a scam — it was sent a few days AFTER I got an email from the internet company about my bill payment having been processed.

Answer 58 · July 27, 2020 at 12:35 PM

Just received a text from 707-661-8029 for a returned AT&T payment. I refused to respond as I know that is not a normal AT&T message. Don’t be fooled people!

Answer 59 · July 27, 2020 at 12:29 PM

I had the same message. My autopay is still set up. Checked my bank there was no failed attempts.

Answer 60 · July 27, 2020 at 12:28 PM

When I called the number, a voice said, please enter your 16-digit number. Since I have more than one payment, from more than one card, going to more than one AT&T transaction, this lack of specificity alerted me.

My two inquiries made it pretty clear that the Text I received is a scam.

Answer 72 · July 27, 2020 at 1:16 AM

Hello, I received message also. By any chance did any of you that received this message get an offer from AT&T about a month ago, offering to waive the past due balance on your account. if you paid 25% of the past due balance by 29th of June. The reason I'm asking is cause I'm having issues with them I paid the 25 % now they won't give me the credit. They keep telling me that it's under review and they will contacte shortly it's been a month to the day. I'm wondering if it's a group text where they are not gonna give the credit.
