Scam. The link looks sketchy. I'd trash and forget and not click on the link.

Yes, I agree. I dumped it and did not click the link. That's pretty scary though for unwary folks who don't know real from fake. It looked pretty real. But where it came from was not like other actual AT&T emails.
Thanks for responding OttoPylot

Scammers/spammers/phishers are always one step ahead of the providers and customers. It pays to be very careful and diligent.

Nothing you can do now. Did you offer any information?

If you didn't offer any information then you SHOULD be ok. If anything, the phisher knows they have an active number so you can probably expect to get more phishing attempts in the future that look legit.
