Thanks for posting this scam warning on your site.I received a text message from AT&T SUBJ Unsuccessful payment. Call 9097688411 MSG 1014I checked my account, and AT&T received their monthly payment on July 26, 2020.
Yep, got the same c**p today, mine read:FRM: AT&TSUBJ:Unsuccessful payment.Call 9097688411MSG:6673I checked my bills, and the last one was paid in July and the next is not due until end of August - with timing off, I was suspicious.Thanks for this website for the warning
I received the same type of message just now. It seemed fishy because if I ever miss any payments, ATT will usually give me a "Payment unsuccessful, please log in to your pre-paid acct" message. All it said was the following:FRM: AT&TSUBJ: Unsuccessful paymentCall 9097688411MSG: 2651
My account is set up for auto pay. Knew it had to be false
I got the same text!
Got the same message about an unsuccessful payment and to call 9097688411. The only difference was the MSG number. Definitely a scam as I telephoned AT&T and they indicated they didn't send the message.
