I got the same text at 3:58 AM this morning. I don't know where to report it to AT&T. Thanks for exposing it as a scam.

I received this text message on August 16, 2020 at 7:56am Central Daylight Time. I did not call the number, but instead called AT&T. My account had been paid and I learned this was a scam.

I got it at 5:43 am, one AT&T line and another on an MVNO AT&T operated line. Did not call back knowing both accounts had already been paid this month.

Seems like someone is phishing all the AT&T cell numbers in our area of AL, hoping for a bite.
