Scamming - Fraud
Do not call 828-263-6356. This is because the fake "AT&T Unsuccessful Payment" text message below, which asks recipients to call telephone number 828-263-6356, is a scam. The scam, which claims the recipients' payment was unsuccessful or is on hold, is being sent by scammers who are attempting to steal their potential victims' personal and financial information by asking them to call fake AT&T telephone number 828 263 6356.

Received the same.Many thanks for the information, and web site. George Hendersonville, NC
I received the text this morning. I thought, that's strange, it's billed to my AMEX every month. I checked my AT&T account online and my AMEX and it showed paid. So I googled and saw your scam messages. Luckily, I didn't call the number!
Received same message in Wichita. Asked for credit card number. Didn’t provide.
Just got the same scam message. I am with AT&T, though, so I wonder how they got that info (unless it was a lucky guess)?
Definitely a scam they just texted and asked me for payment and I checked my account and have no payments due.
I came here to check out this # since I do not have an account. hope others will check that # before responding to the text
Got the same message this morning. My account is up to date so this is clearly a scam. The sending text number 1-410-200-503 doesn't even make sense.
total scam! Thank you for confirming.
Thank you! I was thinking it was!
