Imagine getting a call from 800‑288‑2020 and the voice claims to be from AT&T. Many consumers report similar unsolicited outreach that ranges from harmless appointment reminders to full‑blown spoofing scams. Because the number is widely used by both legitimate AT&T support and fraudulent callers, treat any request for personal data—account numbers, SSNs, or passwords—with caution. Hang up, look up the official AT&T contact on the company’s website, and verify the request directly. Register the number with your carrier’s do‑not‑call list or use a call‑blocking app. Stay alert, and never share sensitive info over an unexpected call.
Late at night, I received a call from an individual with an Indian accent claiming to offer technical support for my computers; he provided a business name but not AT&T, which I later discovered to be the actual caller
Despite not being an AT&T customer, I received a call from this number on my Verizon phone, which seemed suspicious.
Frequent calls from this number warrant a call to AT&T's customer service to verify the purpose, whether it's an account update or survey, and to express concern if the call is to a business that doesn't use AT&T services
It's worth questioning the claim that these companies don't sell user information, especially given their hiring practices and persistence in making calls.
AT&T supposely called me regarding some work on my phone or internet service
It appears this is an official AT&T customer support number, as indicated on the bill, and can be safely dialed back from your phone without having to answer the initial call.
The call was to confirm a scheduled U-Verse appointment.
Notification of a scheduled U-Verse upgrade from AT&T was received tonight.
I got a call from AT&T regarding scheduled maintenance for my u-verse service
An automated message from AT&T informed me of an upcoming maintenance upgrade for U-Verse, scheduled to take place that night.
this number is used by AT&T for tech support, they contacted me to inform me of upcoming service updates in my area, and 800-288-2020 is their general tech support number
This call was from At&T, informing me about maintenance on their Broadband service.
I've fallen victim to a scam, with $160 taken from my checking account without my knowledge or consent, and now I'm forced to cancel my credit card and deal with the bank.
Machines that automatically dial numbers in sequential order are used by telemarketers, not requiring ATT to provide them with your number.
This morning, an automated call was received, and upon calling back, the CSR explained it was an address verification generated by their system without any inquiry or change request, which seems like an attempt to drive sales.
I received a call from 800-288-2020, which I didn't answer due to not recognizing the number, and they didn't leave a message.
Multiple calls have been received from this number
Upon answering, a message stated someone was attempting to alter my email associated with my AT&T account, prompting me to verify by calling 800-Att-2020
Recently, I noticed a charge on my credit card statement:
A robot from AT&T calle me at 800-288-2020, saying my landline repair was complet, and i should call 800-515-7272 or visit att.com/repair for more informations
Apparently, collections companies such as Citi, Chase, etc. utilise a 'Spoof' service like www.spoofcard.com to display this or any number, other than theirs, and the number is actualy AT&T's, which is who they want you to beleive is calling so you will answer, if you are being harrased due to late payments be carefull
AT&T is the parent company of SBC, Cingular, and DishTV.
Calls from 800-288-2020 are relatively harmless, as they were from AT&T regarding appointment scheduling or confirmation for equipment installation.
Interestingly, sbc and att are essentially the same entity, as sbc acquired att and subsequently changed its name to att, a move that seems illogical but is indeed factual.
AT&T encompasses SBC
I've been geting these calls on an unlisted number, it ushally means that ATT has given my number to someone, the message starts saying please hold for an importent message
I recived a text email from SBC Customer Service with this number, but i have AT&T, not SBC, and i never contacted them about my account, it seems fishy.
It appears this is a legitimate call from AT&T, as I had recently changed my username and password online, and they were verifying the security request
