How can we stop this bull c**p.
850-498-1001 They want me to put my credit card number, when I called and is totally fake. I give them my fake credit card number as well. 1234567890111213
I got the same one several times, but the msg number was 4869. I texted back that AT&T would not use this method so please stop sending me these texts.

The fraudulent user is using variations of the number I got. The first was 850-498-1001, but I got another with a different alert code from 850-498-1004
And 1004 also. Got three different texts today
Received same message but msg code was 5074.
They (fraudulent user) are also using the telephone number 850-498-1001 with a different message alert code.
