Multiple charges for same text message received

I noticed my prepaid balance was being used up quickly, so I listed History. On 4/16/20 one Incoming text message was listed 41 times at 20 cents each....$8.20 charge. I tried to call AT&T prepaid support, but the office is closed. Has any one else experienced this?

Hi @CaroleLynnae

 

Thanks for reaching out to us. We've just confirmed that the prepaid department is still available. They are open every day from 7 am to midnight EST at 800-901-9878. They'll be able to assist you in this matter.

Yes, I have had the same problem on my prepaid account.  Being charged for text msgs I never received from an unrecognized number starting with 1BF88...  Charged 32 times within two days.  I was told by Cust Serv that a ticket would be entered on my behalf to investigate this billing problem.  I tried blocking that number but it didn't help.  I also noticed I was charged three times for one text msg.
