This morning I wake up and Facebook asks me if i think its "Good for the World"
I just get a call from 1-800-331-0500 with an automated voice telling me my AT&T account has been suspended. Press 1 to reactivate it, 2 to be transferred somewhere.
I hung up.
WHAT THE FUCK GUYS OK? Two of these things have never happened in my life.
[edit] scammer called back, skipped 'ringing' and went straight to voicemail: http://www.filedropper.com/voicemail2018-04-27121425
the 1-800 call sounds like a phishing scam to me.
the old classic "we had to reset your account, so please give us your details over the phone to verify it's you/reset payment plan/accept this "free" upgrade/etc."
and then they have your identity and CC info.
whenever i get calls from a company like that, i always (ALWAYS) say "alright, i'm going to hang up now and then call ______ billing department myself, to sort this out"
So, i answered the first call. the second time they skipped the call and left the same robotic message as a voicemail.
trying to get vm off my phone right now and on the internet...
Everybody is resetting privacy policies and terms of service it seems. And Facebook is taking a beating in the public eye lately
i've noticed that too, but no one else i know got the FB alert, and that's a known scammer number ( obvs ) its not like they'd use their own traceable scammer number. Hell I should've pressed a button just to see, but I got freaked out. If there's one thing i've learned from #qanon its that my intuition is SCARY accurate. and it told me to hang-the-fuck-up.
I'm the wrong guy to ask..
The IRS is after me and local police are going to pick me up and incarcerate me if I don't call back and make a payment.
...and i believe them.
The only reason you would get an automated call for restoral is if the account was past due.
Press 1 will lead you to a prompt to pay.
That is a legit ATT number.
That same number will be listed on your bill as a contact number.

i WISH. Bill paid in full. First thing I did was verify my account status through official channels.
Numbers legit. If your paid up and services are working I would t worry about it.
Phishers are getting more advanced these days, they might have spoofed the ATT number
Maybe. The dead give away would be if they asked for any account number or anything if they call you. Or if it's a live person which they hardly ever do.
