Scamming - Fraud
Do not call 931-286-3084. This is because the fake "AT&T Unsuccessful Payment" text message below, which asks recipients to call telephone number 931-286-3084, 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 931 286 3084.

What happens if you bite the scam?
I reported this scam text to AT&T, as well. Here is the text information: 1 (410)-100-044 12:33 AM FRM AT&T SUBJ:Unsuccessful payment .Call 9312863084 MSG 4088 I called the number and an automated voice said, "Thank you for calling ATT's 24 hour line. We regret to inform you that your Debit card is locked. To reactivate it, Press 1, To leave, Press 2. I hung up. I don't have a Debit card. I pay my bill with a Bank Draft every month.
I got the message & the same auto-response.
The text was from 1-410–200-555 FRM:AT&T SUBJ:Unsuccessful payment.Call 9312863084. MSG:7739
AT&T scam...number 4696779995...do NOT push 1..to unlock..it is a scam...
Received this text. Anybody who falls for this should have been more attentive.For me, it was a no-brainer. Any claim that I made an unsuccessful payment is subject to the fact that I have not attempted to pay AT&T anything what-so-freaking-ever.But I suppose there must be some who fall for it. Even a 0.001% success rate is a good return on the investment.

I just received this at 2:27PM CENTRAL TIME...5 MINUTES AGO...immediately forwarded the text to 7726 ( AT&T spam ) and then googled this number and it brought me here. Scammers Be gone!
Got this today 8-15-20 at 2:00 pm. So many scams these days. Wish they could do something about it... well, they probably can just won’t. 🙄
August 15 - Got the same text on my phone at 3:01 AM.
