Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
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! If you have received the same scam, please share your experience below by leaving a comment.

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:1 (410) 200-500FRM:AT&TSubj: Unsuccessful paymentCall 6616893381MSG: 0440
Received the exact same text on July 28. My phone is on a corporate account. It appears as a scam.
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.
Same. Never seen this before, obvious scam.
I received this call today and I felt it was a scam.
I got this message 2 days ago. Checked on line to be sure I was paid up.
Received same msg supposedly from ATT. My bill is paid in full.
Got same message last night
Received this message yesterday at 4:31 pm after I received a legit text from AT&T, the day before, that my payment was successful. Message/Tet below:FRM:AT&TSUBJ:Unsuccessful payment.Call 7076618029.MSG:7276 ”

Received this message yesterday, 7/27/20.
I've got the same message and have deleted it.
SCAM SCAM SCAM!!! Don't respond!
I received the same text. Since I have automatic payments I was specious. called the 707 number and was told I dialed this number incorrectly.
Yes it’s a scam! Got this message: FRM:AT&T SUBJ:Unsuccessful payment.Call 7076618029.MSG:4314
received this text on 7 27 2020---
Yep! I received the exact same message. Beware.
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. :/
Got the text message att , I used a different telephone it says the number is disconnected.
Yep, just got it. I'll block them.
Yep just received this text message. Was sent from (410) 200 503 ... obviously not even a legit number.
I got the same text. How can I stop it?
I got this alsoFRM:AT&T SUBJ:Unsuccessful payment.Call 7076618029.MSG:8889 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.
I received this message too. Scam call
I just received the same message. First thing I did was to google the call back number and ends up finding this forum. Definitely a scam. FRM:AT&T SUBJ:Unsuccessful payment.Call 7076618029.MSG:7025
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!
Absolute scam. Where is our government overcite?
I received a text saying that my payment was unsuccessful with AT&T. It's a scam call.
I received a text saying my ATT payment was declined & please call this number. It’s a scam please don’t call it!
Received text, it is a scam. Don’t call.
My wife received the same text. Seems like scam.
I received same message!
scam but they almost got me because my credit card expires in 3 days.
I got the same one. I’m all paid up at ATT and have no pending payments “FRM:AT&T SUBJ:Unsuccessful payment.Call 7076618029.MSG:xxxx”
I also received text message. Stupid scammers. Hope AT&T takes care of this!!
