I received a text message from "AT&T" about an "unsuccessful payment" and to call telephone number 707-661-8029. The problem is, I didn't attempt a payment and have never received this kind of text before. Customers beware!

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?

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:

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. :/

Tried to call the number and got a fast busy. I work for AT&T. We would not leave this kind of number. We would leave a toll free number. Just to be sure, I checked my bank account and my payment wen thru a week ago with no problem.

Same number and same text message exactly. Almost believed it because I do have autopayments set up wit ATT. But nothing is due right now, so it looked suspicious. Indeed, it's a scam. Do not trust them!

Thank you to everyone who posted about this. I suspected a scam but had actually just made a payment so I was wary. Checked my AT&T account and all was good. One note different on the text message I received. It came from 1(401)200-503 Yes, it was an incomplete number; that’s not a typo.
