844-840-5186

They sent a message from 883-713. It claimed to be about my Directv bill. It said to call 844-840-5186. When I did it sounded like someone from India. When he asked for my passcode I ended the call and called ATT about my directv. They said there was not a record of any one calling.

This number texted to my cellphone pretending to be from DirectTV; said to call and enter code 8043.  This is NOT a Direct TV number!  I check with AT&T and they gave me the correct number to call to report this scammer.

Same here; it came from 883773; about the Directv bill.  It's a scam call.

I don't know who called me.

Received the following text message (all spelling and puncutation are exactly as it was sent):
AT&T Free Msg: You have U-verse TV & DIRECTV active on your account if you do not want both please call 844.840.5186 & enter code 4704. Text STOP to opt out

Scam call about ATT

Received the following text from 883-773:

AT&T Msg: Tech arriving 11/14 btwn 1PM-3PM. Install of service may take 4 hrs.  Status: https://ufix.att.com/d/1621C651N0P0  Text STOP to opt out

got a text as well. chatted with ATT directly and they said to ignore and that it is a scam number. If you get this for att or directtv my recommendation is to call them directly and not to respond to the text.

Got a text from 883-773 stating
"AT&T Free Msg: Tech to arrive 02/17 btwn 9AM–11AM. Install of servie 4 hrs. Keep appt? Text YES or NO. Text STOP to opt out of service"

First thing that tipped me off it was a scam was the misspelling. I called att and they said it was not them.

Later tonight I got a phone call from (800) 531-5000. I did not answer but it was a recording with a similar message but the time changed to 8 -12.

Received a text from 883-773 that said "AT&T Free Msg: Tech to arrive by 4PM & may need 2 hrs to finish repair. Reply HELP if reschedule needed or visit att.com/ufix Text STOP to opt out"

I responded, saying "I didn't order a tech" and the response was "Hi. would you like to get a status or reschedule?" I tried again, with supposedly someone else. I said "I didn't order a tech" and they responded with "I can help you with that". I got a weird feeling about it when they started asking for my mobile telephone number, which they were already texting, and then that same text from earlier, "Hi. Would you like a status or reschedule?" came through. I said I was just going to call AT&T instead and they said " I respect your decision. However, if you allow I can also help you over chat." I said "No thanks. Your texts are coming through shady, so I'll be confirming if this is a scam or not." They responded with, "It is not a scam." They then talked about MyAt&T and then said, "Could you please provide the four digit  Passcode associated with this account?" I would not provide it, so they "ended" the text session.

Text message says to call 1-844-840-5186 and a 4 digit code is provided and you must call to opt out of the direct tv....    I called that number - it says to enter code number so i didn't - then it gave me 1-800 number to at&t      at&t has our cells /home phone/internet and u-verse - tell me why i would want direct tv - think i pay enough now   - re-seller of a t & t .....

I got the exact same text message but the code to be entered was 9978. I contacted ATT and they are escalating it to check on it. They verified that my account only has ATT Uverse.

Same just happened to me

This is robo call stating they are AT&T...and that their records indicate I have both UVERSE and DIRECT TV...and if it's not correct to either press ZERO for operating and giving them the code of 1382 or hang up and call 844-840-5186.
THIS IS NOT AT&T...Hang up if you receive a call from this number.

scam call from 883773, said it was from AT & T and to call becuase I have U-verse and Direct tv active on my account.

Received a call yesterday afternoon and let it go to voicemail.  Claimed to be AT&T and said I had both U-verse and DirectTV active on my account and if this is incorrect please call 844-840-5186.  They said to use MY 4 digit passcode which they provided (not my passcode).  I figured it was a scam since I just received my u-verse bill (no DirectTV on it) and I knew AT&T would not leave my passcode on a voice recording.

Got the same text yesterday and today as several here:

AT&T Msg: You have U-verse TV & DIRECTV active on your account if you do not want both please call 844.840.5186 & enter code 5616. Text STOP to opt out

I didn't call or text. I get a lot of robot calls and this is just the newest scam. A**butts

Just received this from this number. You have U-verse and DIRECTV active on your account if you do not want both please call 844.840.5186 & enter code 6418 Text STOP to opt out.
