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.
Thanks to the comments here, I was able to identify the call as a sales call and dismiss it, after they left a voicemail on my cell phone claiming my service had been suspended, which seemed bogus since I was using my cell phone at the time of the call.
This 'Toll Free' ID was unrecognized, and the lack of AT&T services makes it even more suspicious.
The caller claimed my Verizon account was suspended and requested sensitive information, including the last four digits of my social security number, to verify my identity.
I havent answered the calls, but i did try calling back, and it went to voicemail, they've called me multiple times, it's very annoying, but after reading it's a scam, i've blocked it, dont trust them.
It seems we have a common problem here - a robo call with no message, just a phone number, a tactic commonly used by scammers who never leave a message or identification.
It seems their robocaller system had already conectd with someone else by the time i answered, resultting in dead air similiar to being on hold, not an open line, and the call was disconected after a few seconds.

Last night's call claimed my account was suspended, but since I've set up real-time alerts for any identity theft, I knew it was a scam and hung up, fortunately I had read about this tactic here before.

The number showd up as ATT on my phone, and a woman told me I had problems with my computer, and she wanted to fix it, but then she told me something very inapropriate and hung up.
An automated message from the caller stated that my accounts were suspended, requesting my ID and last 4 SSN, then proceeded to claim they would transfer me to another account, but nothing happend after I waited, so I hung up and called back, this time I spoke to a real person who immediatly informed me that a scam was occuring, I then asked if I could change my ID online and the agent replied it wouldnt do much, offering to make the changes for me, he also asked for my last 4 digits, I pointed out he should have my account informations infront of him, he claimed he couldnt see my account unless I provided the last 4, he was reassuring and gave me the option to choose, so I desided not to tell him.
I recived a call that said AT&T on the caller ID, but when i answered it said my account was in arrears, i dont have an AT&T account so i hung up and blocked the number

Today, I've gotten ten calls from this number, claiming to be from AT&T. However, my caller ID shows 'ATT', not 'AT&T', which raises suspicions. They claim there's an issue with my internet service, but I don't have internet service through AT&T.
Apparently, a man with a middle eastern accent contacted me claiming my AT&T account was compromised. They contiune to call our numbers, including my husbands cell phone. This appeares to be a scam.
We recieved 6 calls in a few hour, they said ther is a security breach in our at&t internet, but we dont use at&t, so we didnt stay on the line
