I got a pop-up on my iphone, looking like a legit AT&T logo etc, stating I had been randomly selected to win prizes but had to answer 3 questions in 2 minutes (thought this was part of a recent direct TV/AT&T service I had just signed up for or I would never have even responded). Looked like a webpage from amazonaws, said mac was "sold out" but I could still get iphone6, but then when it redirected me to another web page I just closed it, thinking it was likely spam.
Thought you at AT&T should know.

I have got so much messages from 141******* numbers they all spam. All 141 start numbers.
I did call At&T customer service and they can do nothing to stop that spams. They offer me change phone
number instead. I have prepaid phone and that messages drain my money. Looks like AT&T part of that spam
if they have profit from that.

Before I open ANY link in messages, is the following legitimate? :
—————
Dear Loyal AT&T Customer, please take a couple minutes and claim your $100 at the end of this survey. yogm4.info/97nWPl6c4y

I got a text message that says "Dear loyal AT&T Customer, please take a couple minutes and claim your $100 at the end of this survey. (Edited per Community Guidelines) The text came from a phone number with a 909 area code. I am sure it is a scam so, everyone please keep an eye out because I know I could use an extra $100. Anyone else have had this happen to them?

The link in the text should tell you everything, IF you don't find it weird that AT&T wouldn't just credit your account or straight-up refund your auto-draft payment, then of course the link should tell you alone that it is a malicious attempt at best. When in doubt, delete the message!
I still can't believe who ever is doing these messages wouldn't use this technical ability to make serious bank working for a legitimate company!?!?
Microsoft used to hire hackers to break or compromise their software, instead of trying to profit from innocent civilians.

Came from number #332-223-2335 which was allegedly "AT&T", which it is NOT. States my maiden last name-ONLY- and then says, 'we accidentally overcharged your account last month. Please your reimbursement here:" and then some weird link that I am CLEARLY not clicking on. Note that the text had very improper grammar/missing words and came from an unknown number... It's a hack. AT&T - I hope you're on top of this. Subscribers...beware.
