AT&T Attempt

9/12/2021

 
This is a different style. This came through yesterday evening and it is mimicking some of the texts that companies send you to alert you about something regarding your account. Most of the time they are alerts like "You are out of data" or "Your payment has been received". This text takes that similar approach but tries to force you to click a clearly malicious link through the allure of a possible gift. Firstly, my name is not James, secondly I didn't even pay a bill. Please stay vigilant.

I also received two more similar messages, but in this case they are regarding my "bill is processed". First of all that makes no sense, secondly the message purports to be from "AT&T" but they clearly misspelled it as "ATT". Lastly, why would anyone freely give you a gift for paying your bill? Too good to be true.

"AT&T Free Msg: bill is paid. Thanks, [NAME]! Here's a little gift for you: [LINK]"

"(ATT) Latest bill processed! Thank you for your support. Here's a little something for you >> [LINK]"
