Expert Opinion

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.
