I figured that if ATT (sic) wanted to give me a little gift just for paying my bill they would have included it in with my next bill, not have me click on a very suspicious looking link. If it looks stupid then it’s a scam. Why can’t they find and jail these people? Say, one month in jail for every scam message. Should add up to about 10,000 years in jail! That sounds appropriate.
I agree. Although I would rather have these scammers killed. It would cost fewer dollars in the long run.
Received this text twice, NOV and DEC bill.ATT (not AT&T) Dec bill paid. thanks, Here's a little gift for you: swry10.info/cJEf-CvYfh.
I get this text everyday. I block it. And the texts still come through. These scams are very annoying. These scammers call, text and email. Not to mention US Mail! Is America the scam capital of the world or what?
I too get them often. I keep blocking numbers but get text again from different numbers. So annoying. AT&T forum says to forward the text to 7726(SPAM) ...
The big reg flag for me was the text used ATT and not AT&T.
ATT never gives anything for free. :) First clue. Second, my bill was still outstanding. (628) 286-4902.
