877-844-5584

According to http://wiki.howardforums.com/index.php/Cingular_Phone_Numbers this is the fraud dept. at Cingular.

Got a call notifying me that the password for my wireless account at AT&T had been reset...and that if I hadn't done this to call 877-844-5584.  I hadn't reset anything...and subsequently logged on with the old password...which worked fine.  

Is this a scam, or what????

I just got the same message too. I didn't ask for a reset temp password. This is odd.

Got a message "from AT&T Fraud" that someone opened an account with my name and SSN. Asked me to call and discuss.

A collect compay mail us a letter to told we own their ( AT&T) money a few year ago.After we told we have a question about ,they told us this number 877-844-5584.But when I call them it was not told ATT ,just say for English dial 1 ....................Than hear thanks to call New AT&T.We told then we never own account with them.The told will mail us a form to fill in.
Get the form yesterday ,but it was ask a lot of  personal question and need all copy of our ID.My friend told not to doing it.And stop by ATT storefind out ,Is it the true ATT or not.

i got the same thing today through mail.  decided to ignore it as I googled this 1-877-844-5584 number and it is not on any AT&T website. I will ignore it as if I call, I may have to release my personal information.  It definitely doesn't sound right.

Same here, exactly same thing, They just want us to call and provide them all our personal confidential infos. If we fall into their trap,  who knows what's gonna happen next !!!!. May be we have to report that to the Attorney General for fraud investigation.

just got an email saying - "let's talk about your new iphone" from "AT&T" & that I was assigned the number (713) 569-3654.  But don't have an iphone! Definitely a scam.

they just called me from that number and asked me a lot of question about my adress. they asked me to fax them my  ssn or passport.

Just got a call from "AT&T Fraud Dept" telling me that "a cell phone account was opened in my your name with AT&T just now, and we need your SS Number for verification purpose" the person calling called himself Peter Buxter, who said that when I call back with the requested information He will not be the one answering the phone.

Received a letter saying we owed A T & T money.  Our A T & T account is automatically billed to our credit card so this looked suspicious.  The address to us is marked "AUTO" which makes me thinks this is blanketed mail.  This is from a collections agency and we never received any notice from A T & T.  The letter said to call 877-844-5584 if we feel we are a victim of Identity theft.  Seems funny that a collection agency would say that.  I am going to ignore it.

Got the same message in my email. See below

Your temporary password to log in at att.com/mywireless is 709368. You will be asked to set a permanent password after logging in.
If you did not request to have your password reset, please call 877-844-5584.

Thank you,
The New AT&T

I got a call from this nmber saying someone ordered phones using my name and SSN.  I was suspicious because the woman who left the message, apparently unaware she was still being recored, "I'm going to terminate this sucker."  Nevertheless, I called, and was asked lots of  questions  (they also read from my credit report). I was told thae matter would be investigated and I would receive a letter in the mail.  I smell a rat.

Someone left a message today asking me to call this number. They said someone had tried to open a cell phone account in my name. When I called, a man started asking me personal questions...name, address, ss#. When I refused to give any information, he refused to tell me what was going on. I said fine and hung up.

Go to the AT&T website and get the number for their mobile service.

I have a feeling the guy that called you is the one trying to open an account in your name.

Looks legit.

Got a call and mail saying I owed money to AT&T and they were hired to collect.  First of all, I have never had anything with AT&T.  Secondly the letter said I owed $1743.23 but they would settle for $871.62.  Haha!!

Woman claimed she was from ATT fraud, saying an order had been placed for some equipment on my ATT account.  Needed to verify my info and want last four of my social.  I asked whether or not she could not simply place a hold on that order since I had not placed an order.  Said she needed to verify account info.  Told her I smelled a rat.  She gave me 877 844 5584 as a call back number.  I did not call back after reading this forum.

2015763000- called to say people were adding to our ATT account
we do not have an ATT account- and asked us to call  the 877-844-5584 Fraud number

when called it went through a bunch of advertising

i got a call from 2015763000 informing me that someone is trying to access my account, and to call 877-844-5584.it was a real Fraud AT&T number. i even called back and i called using 611 and they confirmed the 8778445584 is a real AT&T number, and its the Fraud Dept. Always double check all the calls don't call any number they give you, just call 611 from your cell phone. all they wanted me to do is add a pass-code to protect my account.   Call 611 and have them double check the 8778445584, they will tell you its their number.
