The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) has received a number of recent contacts from Wisconsin consumers about a robocall imposter scam that claims to come from AT&T. The scammer rigged the system to show AT&T’s actual customer service phone number on recipients’ caller ID displays. The automated message in the calls warns recipients of an issue with their internet service related to a security breach then asks you to press a button in order to speak to a representative about the situation which would likely add your number to a future call list and you may be pressed for money or personal information from a scammer. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your AT&T service, contact the company directly by using the contact information listed on your monthly billing statement.
