Ever wonder why a call that sounds like AT&T shows up on your voicemail? Most of these recordings are spoofed messages trying to get you to pay a bill or hand over account details. Because the number 1‑800‑947‑5096 can be forged, the caller usually has no real link to the carrier. Treat any payment reminder as suspicious, verify with the official AT&T website or app, and never share personal info over the phone. Use your phone’s block feature or an app, report the number to the FTC and your carrier, and keep a log of repeated attempts to help authorities track the phishing pattern. Remember, a legitimate bill notice will always give you a clear way to confirm it without pressure.
Calls from this number are consistently met with silence, making it clear that it's not a legitimate caller
I also recieved a call from that number, but i didnt answer
After receiving calls about my alleged AT&T wireless account, which I don't have, I called back to clear up the confusion and was directed to an operator, who apologized for the inconvenience after realizing the mistake.
My approach is to ignore automated calls asking me to contact an 800 number, as I believe companies should respect customers' time by using human representatives instead of expecting us to wait on hold.
Repeated calls have been received from this number, with the caller claiming to be related to a wireless account, which is not relevant as there is no such account.
I confirm that this number belongs to AT&T/Cingular account receivables.
Got two calls in the last few days, prerecorded message starts befor my voicemail, first callback was a fax noise, so im ignoring it, if its att, they messed up, i have sprint
Since July, I've been receiving calls from 1-800-947-5096, claiming to have an important message about my AT&T wireless service; after speaking with a representative, the calls stopped for a while but have recently resumed.
Given my overdue Cingular bill, it's intriguing to consider the possibility of a scam, though I didn't answer to find out.
Clearly a scam, given the claim of being from ATT despite my lack of affiliation with them. It seem like either a poorly executed marketing tactic or a blatant scam. My past experinces with ATT was horrible, in term of value and customer service, and apparently nothing have change.
On 8-21-07, i recieved a call from them, didnt answer and no voice message was left, btw i never had a Cingular/AT&T account.
A call was received today with a cut-off message, appearing to be a scam since it referenced Cingular/AT&T, a service never subscribed to.
This appears to be related to the collections division of Cingular/AT&T Wireless.
I received a call from this number today, with a partially cut-off voicemail; it appears to be related to Cingular, as I made a payment online earlier
The call was answered, but there was only silence before the line was disconnected
A representative from Cingular contacted me regarding an overdue payment, emphasizing the need to settle the bill to avoid service disruption
