800-331-0500

Said they were AT&T and that my account was suspended, but that was obviously not the case since I’m using my AT&T phone right now to fill this out. Scam!

Maybe the most official sounding scam call I've gotten yet.  Combination of recorded human voice, robot voice, and "press one for...".  Spoofed the official AT&T customer service number on my caller ID.  Told me that my AT&T account had been suspended (I don't use AT&T).  Recording asked for the last 4 of my social, and my account #.  I entered some fake numbers to see what they would ask for next.  It said please hold for next available representative, wait time of 30-35 minutes, then hung up on me after a few seconds.  It only sounded "off" by about 3%.  If I had an account with them, and was busy, and in the middle of something else when they called, they probably would have got me.

I agree that they're spoofing legitimate numbers. I get similar calls that appear to be coming from within my work center. Sometimes they speak, most times not. They're probably just checking to see if it's a valid number. Anyway, when I received this call, it came originally from this number...253-905-6123. When I called this number, I got an automated response directing me to call 611 or 1-800-331-0500. Not! I just checked the numbers here and found comments.

I am on the Do Not Call List. This call came to my mobile phone. I screen all unknown calls with my voice mail and do NOT answer the call. All I heard was a loud noise and then something like static. Never call these numbers back - then they know it is an active number. Report these calls to the FCC and Do Not Call sites. Number has now been blocked with Call Blocker.

Scammers don't care if you're on the DNC list.

Call came on my cell.  I have Comsumer Cellular, don't like it at all...  but the point is that I don't  have AT&T.  I thought it might be a political call, the midterm elections are almost here, and both parties are really starting to high-ball voters with mean TV ads and aggressive phone solicitations.  So I didn't answer, and came here to 800notes.  Most entries here say something about AT&T, and about being billed 9.99 without their consent.  That is upsetting to me.

Just a side comment:  I have had myncell number for at least a decade, never got crank calls on it, but since becoming a Consumer Cellular customer, I get lots of them.  Solicitations, scams, political calls.  Consumer Cellular is the most awful service I've ever had, and I blame them for this stuff, too.

Honey, the FCC's main job is self-perpetuation.  It's up to you to learn to protect yourself.  If you still want to be a Good Little Citizen, go ahead and keep spending your time reporting these calls to the DNC line.  After a while, though, you may start to think like me:  it wastes your time, the time starts to add up, life is short...  and just learn not to answer calls with unfamiliar CIDs.

Got a call from 800-331-0500, automated voice says my AT&T count is suspended, and to press 1 to verify account. I don't have an AT&T account. This is a scam!!

It’s a scam call.  Says my account is suspended, but here I am still on.

I know how you feel!  I do volunteer work of an emergent nature, and there's always that moment of stress as I check the CID.  Does someone really need me, or is it a scam call?  Occasionally I still get fooled into answering, but I've gotten better at identifying the real versus scam calls...  and 800notes is such a good resource to identify the scam calls so I can ignore the Bad Guys!

This number has been used for scams since 2007, at least.  How can they get away with this?  I received call but did not answer..no message.

keeps coming to my phone. The recording is always partially cut off so what is you hear is "press 9 to be removed from the list'.  No idea who is calling and won't answer anymore.

Recording said to 'to reactivate your account, press 1, to be transferred to over to a representative, press 2."  If this is a legitimate call, then someone is using my info for AT& T because I have not had an account with them in years!!!.

This number called me and said that my AT&T account was about to be suspended, push 1 to keep it active.  Then asked for the last 4 of my social.  It showed up on the caller ID as AT&T Customer Care but was a mobile phone.

It's from ATT saying that your account has been suspended. What's weird is I don't have an ATT account at all. I'm not even bouncing off their towers. I'm bouncing off Sprint towers

Unrecognized number. Blocked for the future. Scumbags and thieves.

Maybe don't answer the call.

I did not answer, but they left a message saying it was AT&T and my account was suspended. Press one for customer service, etc. I don't even have an AT&T account so who knows how they got my number. Will block and report on donotcall.gov.

Got a call saying my account with at&t was being deactivated pending verification. Strange because I have no such account.

Received a cal from  800 331-0500 12 NOV 18 1622L, I was driving, I sent it directly to voicemail.  Voice mail recorded an automated voice saying my [garbled] account has been suspended, press one to reactivate.
