Hello @UNITY1_SOLIDARITY,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us! We're happy to help and guide you in the right path!

 

Learn how to report fraud if it happens to you by email, text message, or phone. 

 We recommend you not to click on any links as we don't ask for personal or sensitive data via emails and follow the steps below to protect yourself from phishing:

 

  • Use common sense. Read emails carefully, checking to make sure you know the sender.
  • Only open emails from a sender you know and trust. This goes for attachments and links, too.
  • Go directly to a company’s published website if asked to fill out information. Do not use a link provided in an email.
  • Double check the message: Look for false “from” and “subject” lines, spelling errors and grammar mistakes.
  • Ensure that a website is secure by checking to see whether there is an “s” after the http in the address (https://) and a lock icon at the bottom of the screen – both are indicators that the site is secure. Never enter payment information on a site that isn't secure.
  • Be vigilant. Monitor your bank and credit card statements for any suspicious charges or transfers. If you see unauthorized payments on your credit card or bank account, you will need to contact the bank or the financial institution to have them reverse the unauthorized charge to your account. 

    Learn how to spot fake email messages that claim to be from AT&T. Take steps to report and delete the email.

    Sending fake emails is one of the most common scams, so it’s important to know what to look for.

    We hope this information is helpful and thanks for reaching out to AT&T Community Forums!

The message is not legitimate; it's a phishing attempt. Do not click any links or provide personal information. Legitimate companies don't request sensitive data via unsolicited emails. Be cautious and avoid such messages. 🚫📧🔒
