Hello there @SaraLynn!
Allow us to assist. We advise to forward all suspicious texts to 7726 (SPAM). Messages forwarded to 7726 are free of charge for AT&T customers and won't count toward your texting limits.
If you're not able to view the number, please to forward the entire message to abuse@att.net.
Finally, make sure to report those suspicious texts to the FTC.
We hope this info helps.

I keep getting SPAM Texts addressed to a fictional "Diana", I have ATT Call Protect (free version) and it does nothing.
I forward the Texts to SPAM (7726) as directed and it does not even slow them down. As a matter of fact, the more I forward them to SPAM, the more times they SPAM me. The SPAM process used to as me for the number, not it does not even do that anymore.
I reported this to SPAM (7726) literally 40-50 times at least. Is that setup to make us feel better or something because it surely is not doing anything. The texts are coming in at all hours. This needs to stop.

I received a text from ATT (904)501-3267 advising that I was one of two lucky winners of daily draw, with a link to claim (kvr3m.info/BbqoiTF4MI). Is this a legitimate ATT thing?

@Monashoe No, not legitimate, it’s a scam. Don’t click any links.
