1111487799

Like others, I just got a text from this number, with a similar message.  The thing that is throwing me for a loop is that the account number listed is not my account (bank or wireless).  I am the only person on this account, and the only person with access to the account.  So unless someone hacked my att account, and decided to pay my bill for me... something is going on.

Received yet another TXT at 4 AM stating
"1111487799 : AT&T FREE MSG: AutoPay Enrollment Change Confirmation -
conf #APCMAT########. Your change request has been processed."

One main problem here:
That's NOT my account number (I used #'s for the numbers on here)
AND we did NOT change anything on our account or even pay our
bill in the last few days, as it was paid 2 weeks ago.

Sounds VERY fishy to me.

Will be contacting AT&T directly asking them what's up, because this
is clearly NOT for us and I'd like for the TXT's to STOP, especially
when they are coming in between 2 AM and 6 AM CST!

Also, TXTing them back does NOT work either, as I tried to send
them a STOP message and it could not be sent to this number.

Just got one of the "free texts" from AT&T.  It says: "AT&T FREE Msg: AutoPay Card Payment Confirmation #QPAPAT521326383 for $46.12 paid 07/12/2010 posted to account ending in 9750."

If AT&T is behind this, or, even worse, ALLOWING scammers access to AT&T customers, you can be sure I'll drop AT&T service!  I pay for quality service from AT&T and if they can't provide it, I'm sure Verizon would be happy to offer quality, scam-free and spam-free service!

At&T Free Message:
AutoPay Card Payment
Confirmation
#***********7441 for
$99.14 paid 7/14/2010
posted to account ending in
****

When I got this, it was refering to my automatic payment of my AT&T bill. I have no idea why I got it this time; I never had before.

I got this mysterious message also on 7/20/10 and I have the solution to what is is! I figured out today that my mom (I'm 17) paid the cell phone bill yesterday and it was the same amount that the text message read. Also, I have AT&T just in case someone else does too.

Sorry forgot to add that the account number is the service plan account number through AT&T that we have... so all is well that ends well!

Got this one too, but it says 97.97

I received a text message confirming stating I paid an amount sent to an account that is not mine.

There has been a payment of $190.58  as of 8/11/2010   QPIVAT535782240

 confirmation # 298014489667

please stop

It is a real AT&T message. If your name is listed on top for your company phone bill you will get the payment notice.

payment confirmation, 93.05. i didnt agree to pay these people nothing, what kinda scam is this? Can nobody do anything about these thieves?

This is legitimate. If you call 611 they will confirm that for you.

You *CAN* turn these off, however. There's no option in your online account settings, but if you call AT&T and tell them you don't want these, they'll disable them. This isn't a common request, so you may need to try a couple reps. I didn't get someone who could help until I asked them to ask their supervisor if it was possible to change the time of day these come in. The supervisor then explained that there was no need - they could disable it completely.

I've gotten many text messages from this number and haven't been able to get them to stop sending them.
Any ideas?

After several phone calls and complaints AT&T refused to change this text message to an email stating it could only be done via SMS (short message) to my phone.  I filed a complaint with the FCC.  They instantly changed it to email.  Go here to put a stop to this irritant:

me too
i called the bank to stop payment
111-487799========
scam for sure

As McGroarty says above, it is (now) possible to call 611 and request that the autopay notifications be turned off.  Thanks for the tip!

I called AT&T's 800# when they first started pulling this crap a few months ago, and was told that "a new Federal law" required them to send payment notifications via text message.  If you get some kind of BS like that, just hang up and call back until you get a rep from the right side of the bell curve.

Little scary.. got a text saying i had just paid $1300 on my credit card for something. It's from ATT for the corporate account. Somehow didn't get sent to my boss. Good times.
