🛑 What Is the "AT&T Unsuccessful Payment" Scam?
Scammers are sending fake SMS alerts from numbers like 1410200019, 1410100002, and 1410200504, pretending to be AT&T representatives. The messages typically say something like:
- “Unsuccessful payment. Call [phone number].”
These texts are designed to panic users into calling phone numbers such as:
- 📞 470-231-2181
- 📞 470-231-4478
- 📞 970-627-7110
- 📞 205-287-2786
- 📞 828-543-0011
- 📞 909-768-8410
- 📞 878-207-4515
- ...and many others
Once you call, scammers will try to phish for your personal and financial information under the guise of verifying or fixing a billing issue.
🚨 Why You Should Never Call These Numbers
These scammers aim to:
- Steal your Social Security number, credit card details, or account login credentials.
- Trick you into installing malware or spyware through links or apps.
- Sell your data on the dark web or directly misuse it to steal your money.
No legitimate company, including AT&T, will ever send messages urging you to call unverified numbers outside their official customer service contacts.
