AT&T Alert: Fraud Risk

No. ATT does not make calls like that. It was probably a phishing scam.

@sandblaster 

Isn't it going to be Call protect alerting OP in this situation?  E.g "Scam Likely", perhaps number in question has been flagged multiple times thus resulting in it reading "AT&T Alert: Fraud Risk"?

@Ulak34 I guess that is possible though I’ve never seen that particular display from Call Protect. 

I just received one of these calls that came up on my Caller ID as “AT&T Fraud Alert.” When I answered and acknowledged my name the man immediately connected me to a recorded Heart Association plea for donations, so I hung up. A second call came in, this time from Ohio, but I didn’t answer and they didn’t leave a message. 

Do something for gods sake to protect us from all this (Edited per community guidelines). I get warning after warning that my phone number has been used or risk of being used because it was given out in a data leak. You “att” I am saying only do 30% of what you need to all I ever see is responses that say “no, likely a scam” or “ ya thats a scam” and “probably phishing or scam” We know that part thats why we ask you guys about it to find out how to stop it or what your doing to stop it or a number we can call with a human that can give us some dang piece of mind. Att you do the exact opposite you just confirm what your customer is worried about which worries us even more because you leave it on us to figure out and deal with ourselves. Maybe scamming is so bad now because all scammers need to do is read community boards to see what phone companies do to protect there customers and they see not a thing at all so its open season. WAKE UP!

Sorry, there's just not a whole lot phone companies can do about scams, especially without making life even more difficult for legitimate customers.
