I have my step-dad's cell phone since he passed 7-19-12. I still make calls to Michigan (I'm in Ohio). I'm still dealing with his estate & trying to get bill-people to stop with bills & notify them of "Notice to Creditors" ad in newspaper. Being an executor of his will doesn't mean I'm liable.
AT&T Wireless Collections
Probably AT&T - since I have not paid the bill yet.
they left a message. it was from AT&T wireless
This call was made at 8 in the morning...wanting me to make arrangements to pay my wireless bill. I DO NOT have a wireless service....and am a senior citizen asleep....recovering from a snake bite. What is wrong with these companies???

"Important" robo voicemail from AT&T wireless
Leaving robot voice mails almost daily. "Important" message about AT&T wireless service, which I do not have.
Robocall left voice mail "This is an important call from AT&T to discuss your wireless service." Important to you maybe, but NOT to me, since I don't have or want your service. Please kindly FOAD, thank you.
Hi my loved one! I wish to say that this article is awesome, nice written and include almost all important infos. I would like to peer extra posts like this .
Caller robot left a message about an AT&T account. I don't have AT&T. Blocked their asses forever, because I ported my number to Google Voice a couple of years ago. With GVoice blocking, future calls are directed to this message: "The number has been disconnected and there is no new number." Sweet. Thanks Google Voice!
Exactly what John said... "These scumbags keep calling me with robocalls saying I need to call AT&T to discuss my account. Problem is I don't have an account with AT&T. Obviously a phishing scam."

ATT - Late Payment I am in argument over their practices....
i dont even have at&t
At&t wireless about past due bill....
At&t Wireless - you payment is late!
Hey there. I discovered your site by way of Google while looking for a related topic, your site came up. It seems to be great. I have bookmarked it in my google bookmarks to come back later.
Preety good quality of this photo, what type of camera did you employ?
Keeps Calling
They claim to be ATT Wireless
this number is att
Is this really AT&T Mobile? Ive gotten several calls as well, since I dont waste my cell time answering calls from numbers that I dont know I have never answered, like some of your complaints I did not pick them got stuck with them for a 2 year contract when Alltel sold out to them and sold me along with the deal.My cell phone bill is paid every month 10 days early since they could'nt get me to answer their calls they sent me a text and told me that if my bill was not paid they would shut off my service, I pay my bill every month in person at one of their stores here, so got them involved and the issue resolved,just to be billed for the past due balance this month.Will finish out the contract with them that I got stuck with and take my business to another cell phone company.
This AT&T Mobility. Wireless bill is late.
This is At&t wireless
I keep getting this call. Who is it? I want it STOPPED !
OMG...A T & T is a new carrier for us and not by choice...they bought out Verizon in our area. 2 calls about the same time 2 days in a row. I am a couple days late...OMG like I said. What a pain!!! Besides that they already screw up my bill and are billing me to much from cross over. They will be getting a call from me first. They left me NO VOICE MAIL either. Its a free call so leave me a #)#(*#* message~~
AT&T calling because I was behind on my bill
Left a message about my AT&T wireless service. I do not have AT&T service
No message or ID
Seems like a phishing phone call. Said they from AT&T and I owed them money, which is not true. Dropped the call while transferring to a representative. Not good.
I have receive several calls from this number 800-947-5096. I would like my number blocked from this caller.
It's AT&T about my wireless service
Left a message, it was from AT&T to discuss my wireless bill
Calling wanting to discuss my wireless number. Gave another 800 # to call. This is not my wireless number they called on.
I had just canceled my AT&T Wireless account, and had forgotten to make my final payment. I ignored the call, looked up who it was on here, and paid my bill on their website.
This number is from AT&T Wireless. And it's usually a computer automated call, telling you to contact AT&T about your cell phone bill. Probably due to past or non payment.
How can I make them stop
From this URL: wireless.att.com
"Your payment is due on or before the date specified on your bill. If you can�t pay your bill on time, contact the AT&T Receivables Management Department at 1-800-947-5096 to make payment arrangements and avoid service suspension. "
I don't know why it shows up as unknown. It's not a good idea, as we can see, because it does make people think it's a scam. I was a week late on my phone bill, and I just paid through the online service instead of calling back. But there it is, listed as a number for AT&T, on their website.
No caller id. Left no message.
CALLING ME NOT TALKING.
Keep getting this call and message saying that they have important message for me about my ATT wireless....I don't have ATT wireless. Never have.
att wireless
A.T.&T.
its not illegal because its not a bill collector. Its AT&T's credit and collections department and the calls are a courtesy reminder because the company does not want your phones to get shut off!!!!!
wireless.att.com
wireless.att.com
I know the link just says wireless.att.com but if you actually click on it it will send you to the page with this exact 800 number on it
how to confirm this number
type the "suspicious" phone number into google.
hit the scroll bar once, to go past all the reverse phone lookup/whocallsme websites
you then will come upon a miraculous discovery. *gasp* The AT&T website.
wireless.att.com
This link does in fact include...you guessed it! The number for AT&T receivables management.
If you have called back and the rep told you they didn't know about the number, chances are they didn't take the time to look and they do not know the first thing about outbound calls.
If you do not use AT&T consider this amazing prospect: someone used your number as their home/business contact or you are using a ported out/recycled number! Amazing isn't it. Now granted if they ask for your entire ssn (after about 2008) do not give it to them, AT&T will not ask for this information they will ask for the last 4 if you are not the primary account holder. This caller cannot tell you why they called because its against the law. However, calling about a debt is not against the law, even if its the wrong number. Try to bring it up in court, guess what they will say!? They will say why didn't you answer the phone and ask to be removed from the list. If it doesn't work the first time try again. If it still doesn't work THEN you can get pissed off and I think out of all these comments ive seen maybe 2 people who had that problem. If you guys are so upset that AT&T won't give out the nature of the call on a voicemail or give it to you without verification, consider that you probably wouldn't appreciate it if all of your buddies knew you weren't paying your bill on time. If they didn't call the primary account holder its because the dialer is set up to call the lowest number first. Annoying yes, a scam, no. Its completely ridiculous that all of you people are so quick to call scam when you could just as easily have scrolled down a little bit in google and found the official AT&T website that includes THIS NUMBER. If you think you paid your bill and you're still getting these calls there is a good chance its because your payment didn't go through or its an issue with a deposit etc. It would be in your best ineterst to answer the call and take care of it so your phones aren't turned off for nonpayment then you have to come crying to the company that you just talked all this crap about begging to get your phones turned back on. Now I know AT&T may not be the best all around company in the whole world, but seriously, calling innocent people scammers when you're just too lazy to check google is just as wrong as the scam you think they are committing (that is if you are like me and think stupidity should be a crime punishable by imprisonment). Also unless you're are a complete moron you should know better than to give out your entire ssn to someone who calls you. I mean come on people use a little common sense.
As for the gentleman who threatened to kill the rep, very mature, and I do hope you realize that this is illegal and that same representative has every legal right to track YOUR number (even if its not with AT&T) and have the police show up at your door for a death threat. I hope the next time you call up there my friend who works there answers because I know for a fact that that "nice lady" will have the police called. I think everyone can agree that accusing someone of being a scammer who is just doing their job is one thing, but threatening to kill them, is not a joke.
anyway just in case you didn't get the link here it is a few more time

No ID info but left a msg. AT&T saying my bill was returned to them because of wrong address. However, I haven't changed my address for years.
Calling me at 5:15 am ... No message
I had auto payment for AT&T, I received this call saying that my AT&T payment late. That's why I believe they are not real.
It is absolute a fake call, don't believe it. Why police don't take action to catch those bad guys?
Paid in full 3 weeks ago, called at 8am this morning to wake me up when I could have actually slept in until 8:30 for once! NOT happy with their crappy service, dropped calls, network outages and stupidity. Going to keep this up and break their contract for harassment. REAL nice when they text you at 2 / 2:30am with some service message, too!!!
Don't call again. Pest.
I get a call from this number almost every day. They never leave a message so it must be a sales call - if they had a real reason to call me, they would leave a message.
This is an autodialer from AT&T Wireless collections, reminding me that my wireless bill can now be paid online, or by texting some number back. Not really a collections call, but a "gee, wouldn't it be great for you to give us some money as SOON as possible?" call of "convenience."
AT&T
Like anyone who calls you and asks for your credit card number, this is a scam. The creepy angry messages on here saying you should pay to the scam number are part of the scam. Whenever you get calls (or emails for that matter) asking for personal info, acct#, card#, etc. politely decline and call back using a phone number you got independently.
May be linked to Creditors Interchange, a very ?- Debt collection company.
Very heavy Asian accent. Looking for someone called Weywa Wu??? Close to my husbands name but we don't do business with Cingular.
These people are trying to scam folks..EVERYBODY needs to know to NEVER pick your phone up and talk to anyone unless they can identify who they are and you recognize them...It is ILLEGAL for ANY bill collectors to call without having a legitimate caller ID that you recognize..Other wise ignore the call..
When I answered they said, "And they'll always bring...those shiny things" I was like wtf then I threatened to kill them and then they hung up.
Has called a few times now, always in the morning. Never once left a message. Have my cell set up so #s not known to me do not make a sound (created a short MP3 of silence), but odd they've never left a message yet.
NO late bill for AT&T here for the call to refer to something like that.
Scam artists.... They hacked my AT&T account, changed the address where my bills should go, set up a security block on my online account, and then just mailed me a copy of my bill and told me I had to pay them $200 in "charges that I had not been billed for in the past" and that I would now start receiving 2 paper bills from AT&T (i'm guessing hoping I would pay them AND pay AT&T). I was told to contact 800-947-5096 to settle my account. Obviously this is false; when I spoke with ATT representatives a few weeks ago, they had no idea what happened and my account is flagged for fraud now. I caught this problem before receiving this request for money because they had hacked my email as well.
yeah, its AT&T calling to tell you to pay your bill.
These scumbags keep calling me with robocalls saying I need to call AT&T to discuss my account. Problem is I don't have an account with AT&T. Obviously a phishing scam.
These people use a different business everytime they call..They want your personal information..Do not give any info to them..
They are nothing more than people looking to get your personal info thru intimidation.DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFO ABOUT YOURSELF!!! USUALLY THEY DO NOT KNOW WHO THEY ARE CALLING..These people are given a block of telephone numbers to call...They prey on the elderly and disabled..
No message left, don;t have voice mail.
ok, i just verified that YES this number is in fact the main ATT billing department.
After i made my transaction with them, i got paranoid after reading all these posts, so i decided to contact ATT directly from the main number on their website, and verify that i made a payment within the last 20 minutes.
They were able to do so, and also verify what was discussed on the call and the amount I just paid over the phone.
So I am 100% CERTAIN that this is not a scam, it trully is in fact ATT, but if you don't want to pay your bill, hey thats OK with me ;)
so just respond to these emails by calling the number on the main ATT website if you are not sure, never an annonymous line.
It's AT&T alright. Bill received on the 24th. Bill due on the 26th. Harassing calls begin on the 25th. Remarkably efficient.
I do not have att wireless. I get this call at least twice a day. How can I get it to stop?
This is Sharon Crandall and I had a At&t Mobility cell phone and I had left to pay on it was #242.00 I think and you stop sending me the bill after I move to Racine, Wis. in Sept 12th 2009. So I was trying to pay my other bills off before I tackle yours. So send me the bill for what I owe when you disconet me in 2007 or 2008 so my address is 524 shelbourne ct. #30 Racine, wis. 53402
AT&T Cellular service. On the same day they will send me a text and leave a message on voice mail to remind me I have a payment due.
Junk call on my new iPhone... Oh, it's AT&T? Musta been real important, since they didn't leave a message. We'll be calling them back on this one!!!
I have had them for more than a dozen years and I think I am 3 days late and they called to tell me my account was PAST DUE. It's their job I guess , but it makes you feel like canceling and saying I will live without a cell phone. What happened to the good ole days when you didn't feel compelled to be in touch 24/7 with the world. People can call me at work or at home , but NO they call the cell phone...Think I am going to cancel that saves me $182 a month or almost $2200 a year.
also, this is the official number off of the at&t wireless website.
It isn't a scam, it's AT&T. They call when you are late. For the people that don't have an account I don't know about that. When I spoke to them they asked if I wanted to make my payment using my previous information, I said yes, my bill was payed. Nothing tricky, no phishing, PAY YOUR BILL! Ha ha
Called my cell three days in a row. Left no message.
It is At&T wireless
they are re: somebody elses bill that's due
An extremely rude man called, threatening to terminate my service to extort a $36 reactivation fee if I wouldn't give him my credit card information. Because I've been parasitized by these monsters before, I refused to give information, paid my ATT bill online during our conversation, and immediately called ATT after the unidentified caller barked at me for "totally ignoring what [he] said."
ATT has no record of any calls to me from billing and recommended that I report this call to law enforcement. Please do not give these monsters your billing information or SSN!
I don't have an AT%T account (if that's who this number really belongs to), I sure can't figure out why they would be calling me.
They should not be asking for your social security number. If you have an account with them, you already gave it to them. They already have enough information to know about your account.
It sounds like phishing to me.
This is the cingular/att number that will call you if your bill is late :P
This is att calling about my cell phone bill. I am sure because I don't have my number listed for any other creditors and I am late with my bill, obviously they have my cell number because they provide the service. These guys service is horrible, when I try to make a call I can't but when they need to leave a message because I am late with my payment, the phone rings like no tomorrow! I told them that's the reason my payment is late all the time, I can't even use the phone for the outragous prices that they are charging me. 6 disconnections during one 2 hour phone call, GIVE ME A BREAK.
They call me every month... I pay my bill online every month through the AT&T website - on time, every time! (usually a day or two early.)
BUT NO... they call me EVERY MONTH anyway... with a "Courtesy Reminder that my account is overdue." Oh sure... They would HATE me to experience a termination in service due to the fact that they can't seem to post my payments in a timely manner.
I explained to the girl on the phone that I pay EVERY month online on THEIR system. I can't help that they don't post their payments quickly. Well, she gets an attitude... She says that she'll "make a note that I claim the payment has been made..."
What a way to treat your LOYAL AND PAYING customers AT&T...
This is the time of the month you actually make me miss Verizon.
If this is, in fact, A T & T and I did owe them money (which I dont), what makes them think that people are more likely to answer an "unknown name" call as opposed to identifying themselves? Talk to the machine!
AT&T calling to tell me that my payment is late by 7 days.
customer said that they asked her for her password and said that they were att but she did not give the password because she did not know if they were really att.
scam! since when do they use southern voice robots?
Pretty sure this is a scam, folks! Be careful.
thugs!!! jk!!!
Just rcv'd call from these folks. It's a robocall. Take my advice, DO NOT ANSWER, IT IS A SCAM. This is a phishing operation. They will take you for all you have on your credit cards. It just happens to be a coincidence that so many people are late with their AT&T wireless bills. Think about all of the millions of AT&T customers there are in the US. If a certain % of them are late with their bill then they assume it is a legit call. It's a similar scam as the Expired Auto Insurance phishing scam. Again, DO NOT ANSWER, IT IS A SCAM!!!
I like your work!,
What?,
It's the New AT&T? Thought AT&T has been around for a while. Hum… Anyway, they are calling wanting payment yesterday! Guess they are experiencing a cash flow problem! Get your bill in the mail today pay it now, not when it’s due!
Anyone experiencing a slow connection on your data? Perhaps we should all call and ask what’s up with that! I paid for it and should be receiving exactly that service. I don’t think AT&T is putting money back into the age old network? Looks like the hirer-ups are pocketing the money vs updating what they have going. Pretty soon it’s going to be worthless with all the smart phones sucking down the infrastructure. Cell service is pretty shitty as is.
:-(,
I bookmarked this guestbook.,
Good Job,
i got a call from 1800-947-5096 some voice machine asking me to call another 1-800 number saying it was from at&t and they needed to discus my wireless plan. on my plan. sounds like a scam
I already called and made arrangements to pay my bill on the 27th.....but i will speak with a CSR to see whats up.
Collections for Cell Bill
I just called to check ... it IS AT&T. There was something wrong with our account not being paid.
I have a theory. What if, the scam has people on the inside? Like working for AT&T? Or maybe they just hacked AT&T. Then they added this as an official ATT number, to fool people into thinking it's real!! I'm gonna call them and screw with them, lol.
AT&T Who I left for Verison because I couldn't ever get them on the phone. NOW they want to talk to me.
Answered call from this number (4/18/09). They wanted me to call back. I checked my wireless bill, zero balance. I can't believe that this is a real ATT number. Sounds like harassment advertising.
This is likely a phishing attempt. We do not have AT&T and never have, despite voice mail stating that we have an account with them.
Please, do not give any personal info to the "nice" customer service lady. If you cooperate with this "nice lady" she is likely to
not only scam you, but then report that she didn't violate the do not call rules because you called her. Contact your phone service provider to report the problem,
and have them block this phone number from being able to call you.
Called me three times in a row, back to back, no message. I know it is AT&T. I hate this approach. SEND ME A F'in EMAIL!
These calls are not scams, just annoying. That 800 number is for the AT&T Receivables Management Department (collections). I don't have AT&T wireless, and never have. Nonetheless, I received "the call" today. I called back and spoke to a fairly nice and helpful customer service person. They have apparently been getting lots of calls from folks with similar stories. Although it remains to be seen whether the calls actually will stop, the CSR said that he took steps to make them stop. He did ask for my SS#, but I refused and he didn't press the issue. His explanation for that was to see if anyone had opened an account using my SS# (identity theft).
i just contacted att this is one of their numbers, i was given this number to call and get my despost i had to give back
when I answered my cell phone it said thank you for holding on. I hung up as it was a automated phone message.
THIS IS NOT AT&T i called AT&T directly, they have no record of this number in their business, home, or wireless service centers. the customer service rep even commented on how careful you have to be with those kinds of calls these days. she also confirmed that AT&T has no reason to have called me in the first place. everything on my account is current.
call 611 or get online access to your account. no customer rep will ever ask for your full SSN for existing service, only the last four digits. that's because the only part of your SSN customer service reps can see on their computers..
Been receiving calls every day for past few days. Message plays long rambling automated call. I finally got tired of having it everyday, so I just called the number. I was buying the whole thing until--I thought it was strange when the guy asked me for my name. I figured- ok, maybe wants to make sure I don't have an AT&T bill by name. But, I knew it was dicey when he asked me what my cell phone number was! I told him I wouldn't be giving it to him. He then kept putting me on hold so this could be "resolved today". There was no point in staying on the phone- there is something dicey in this operation. Whatever it is- I hung up and didn't wait around to find out anything more. Don't bother!
Three times within a few minutes and left three voicemails. Persistent buggers. I only just got my bill, back off.
stop call for nothing I do not who owe you the bill! Go and find him
I've been receiving calls from this number on a consistent basis for the past year, as well as various other "strange" calls. I've never had AT&T or Cingular. I switched to Verizon last year, which is when all the "strange" calls began. Now, I'm curious as to whether Verizon sells phone numbers!! Anyway, I called the number back and attempted to speak with a customer service representative. However, once connected, no one ever identified as a rep. I only heard hushed sounds on the line, so I hung-up the phone after a few minutes. I think it may be a collaboration with Verizon.
they called 3/5/09 and left a message asking me to call back re: my ATT wireless account. Since i have never had an ATT acount, i called the number to inform them they had called a wrong number. The very polite lady on their end asked for my SSN so she could check to see what the problem might be. I refused to give it to her and she told me she would be unable to help me correct the confusion without my SSN. I refused again, and she wished me a "nice day" before hanging up. It sure sounds like a phishing scam to me.
Pay your bills you lazy bastards, lol
FIRST, PEOPLE -- do not ever, ever, -- never never never give your SS# or other protected info to someone who calls you, no matter who they say they are, or even if you can verify it. Get their #. Then verify independently it's them. Then call them back. Even then, why does that person need your SS# if they are calling you, unless you are applying for a loan or such?
The call was as others, from AT&T, saying how to pay the bill blah blah. Then a person came on and asked to speak to (name of person whose old phone number we have, and who receives LOTS of creditor calls). I explained, she said thanks and tried to hang up. I stopped her and made her promise she would remove our #, and finally got her to say the word "yes."
Still, I got the feeling she was a lowbrow scammer.
I called this number today to pay on my AT&T aircard. You can pay your bill over the phone at this number.
I think this must be a scam, as I do not have an AT&T account.
I do not have any wireless service with at&t but I received phone message three times. It said. "This is an important message from new at&t to discuss amount due for your wireless service." It misleads a non at&t customer to pay bill by phone. VERY ANNOYING!
AT&T wireless promo
I received 2 calls in 2 days from 800 947-5096. They called my home phone and said my wireless bill was late. I scanned the internet to see who the number belonged to. One of the websites that came up was AT&T and YES it is their number. So if you did give them your SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER DON'T WORRY - THEY ARE WHO THEY SAY THEY ARE. From their site
The scheduled payment is due on or before your due date. You will need to contact our Collections Department to make payment arrangements to avoid suspension of your service. You can reach the Receivables Management Department by calling 1-800-947-5096.
URL of said number wireless.att.com
I told them on the phone my cell, home and u-verse are all current all paid within the last couple of weeks, none past due, call me again and I will sue their asses.
This is a number for AT&T's Receivables Mgmt. When I called back 800-947-5096, they did ask for my SS#, which I did not give them due to the fact that I could not find this particular number listed as a valid contact # on their website. I should add that I do not have AT&T's wireless service, but do have it for my home phone and internet.
Upon calling the AT&T wireless number listed on the site, they did inform me that they could not provide any information as to why I am receiving the calls, because the records do not show me having wireless service with them (go figure), but that the number provided (800-947-5096) is a legitimate number for that department, and suggested I call about my landline service instead to see if there is a mixup on that end.
Rec'd unidentified call. Did not answer.
They called me today. Tried to get my SSN. I said no. They were able to tell me that I had AT&T service in 2006 from my phone number - the one that they called - and that a refund check was sent to me in the amount of $6.88 in 2006 when the account was closed. Said the bill showed paid in full. They showed no outstanding bills or other information.
Annoying that they call, leave a recording (even when you answer in person), ask you to call back to deal with them. I went through multiple persons and recordings before getting to a 'real' person.
On a good note, she was very apologetic that I am getting calls from this number saying I owe on a bill when they don't see anything...
They left a partial message on my machine telling how to check my bill and pay using my cell phone. It then said it was AT&T and then gave a callback number.
I don't know why they'd call me. My bill isn't due yet.
I have gotten about a dozen of these robo-calls telling me it is "an important message about an amount due on your wireless service" and that I should call AT&T. These calls come to my direct line at work, which is not associated with any wireless account I have. If this isn't AT&T, the company needs to track down the source before AT&T's reputation gets trashed. If it is AT&T, the company needs to simply stop.
Technically it is LEGAL for a bill collector to call you WITHOUT identifing themselves on your caller id unit
It's AT&T, asking you to pay your bill.
UPDATE, after reading all the comments, I would bet 100% this is a scam, this is the second phone number I made Tracfone give me, The first phone number asigned to my tracfone I got 2 pfishing scams from a Los Angeles exchange asking for checking account info. BEWARE EVERYBODY!
They left a message from AT&T bill collections , I just got this number, aparently last person was a dead beat. I haven't even made a call on my new cellphone and I get bill collectors . GREAT!!!!
do not give them any information
Caller asked for Kim Boshi and when I told them they had the wrong number, responded that this is Kim Boshi's phone and he would have to turn the phone off. I told him he was wrong and he hung up.
Scam.
Claimed to be ATT calling about a bill, but I am not the subscriber therefor I should never be told about this. SCAM.
Received 2 calls from this number. Yes, it's the New AT&T. I called the number back and negotiated thru the voice menu to talk to a customer service rep. I advised him that I had been receiving calls from them and wanted them to stop (incidentally, I am a Verizon customer and have NEVER had wireless service with AT&T/Cingular. And I've been on the National Do Not Call list since it's inception). The customer service rep was very professional and helpful and placed my number on their Do Not Call list (they'll need your wireless number and an e-mail address. I refused to give my e-mail, so the service rep supposedly used his). The whole process took about 15 minutes. Now it just remains to be seen if the calls have indeed been stopped.
I know for a fact this is AT&T Mobility's collections..
call at least 3 times weekly, leaves no messages
It was Cingular/AT&T to say I was late paying my bill. (that I paid in full this morning at 5:00am)
I just received an email telling me to call this number, regarding my att wireless account. I went to their website to view my bill, current charges, and to make sure my last payment posted. Everything looks good. Don't know why they sent the email. I'm going to disregard it. Maybe it was sent to my email address in error??? Sounds like from other comments its regarding late payments. However, I went to the contact info on their website and no where is that number one of them. And I am not late on my payment.
Folks, if you were late on *any* cellular service, you would receive a courtesy call with a proper caller-id and message (if you don't pick up) .. if you were *truly* late with a real cellular provider, your service would be suspended.
Since this number is from Cingular (presumably) *and* I've never had Cingular ... it stands to reason that you should not call them back. If you wonder if anything is amiss with your cell service then simply call your cell provider!!! Don't call these clowns back!
THis call Came in on my Cell Phone, I didnt answer it as I dont answer calls from Numbers I dont Know, No Voicemail was Left
They emailed me on my business email account. I don't know how they got that info. The email said to call AT&T Wireless at 800-947-5096 regarding my account. I don't have AT&T service and neither does my company. I'm confused, especially to be getting the message via email.
i have gotten this number about my acount,but i don't have an account with at&t i'm on my daugthers accouht. i paied what i owed in january 08. i called them back onced and they put ne on hold and never came back to talk to me.
its a advertisement... just ignore it...
New cell phone from AT&T. Within a week started getting these calls. Added to reject list.
Icant believe all you people on here who said its AT&T's collections. No its not, they say that when you call to get you to give them info about yourself.... Wise up everybody.. Thgis is a complete phishing scam...Call the official AT&T phone Numbers and verify for yourself.
Some of these reports are just plain weird!! I get these calls from this number whenever I am late with my payment with AT&T. If I pay on time, they don't call (now isn't that novel??). Never been a problem for me, I just call them back and either make the payment or make payment arrangements. They have never disconnected my phone at the end of a call, they have never been rude, nor phished for any information from this number. All they ask is for you to verify the last 4 digits of your SSN, and that is for YOUR safety, its to verify that no one else is trying to access your acct. I don't know about all these OTHER reports at all. I certainly cannot validate all the other folks who say this is a lying, cheating, lowdown scum phishing company because thats not been my experience at all.
This is just Cingular Wireless calling-This is their billing department wanting payment-
800-947-5096 Is AT&T calling about an overdue payment.
Not sure who this is but when I answered, no one was there.
Voicemail was a recorded message saying "We had an important message from AT&T regarding your wireless service." No caller ID info.
receive call on 4/19/08 and 4/20/08 from this number. Tried calling it back..it does go to new att wireless phone tree. They left msg on our landline. We do have att wireless phones but they are pre-paid!! Can't be debt collection as do don't owe a person a dime especially on prepaid phones! Additionally these calls come at 8ish CST. When u call the number back the pre paid folks have already left for the day.
I'm pissed because both times my husband and I were enjoying a wonderful grilled dinner on the patio at sunset when that damn msg come on answering machine. On4/19 we just let it go to voice mail. On 4/20 I damn near broke my neck trying to get to the phone then ate came back to table to eat cold food.
I plan to persue this after the call back on 4/19 was to remove our number from their marketing list. Not only did they blow 2 nights of romantic dinners but for what? I am PISSED and will escalate this thru exe. offices on Monday. Annoying...not to mention sleepless nights raking over in my head what this might be about....
they call everyday and ask for accounts receivable. i am a private residence. no accounts receivable here.
The New AT&T Wireless calls with a recorded message EVERY STINKING DAY with a request to call them back at their 800 number. We have called them back several times and asked them to stop it but they don't
I receive calls from this phone number twice a day at work - not on my home or cell phone. I NEVER answer the phone if the call is unknown or from a phone number I do not recognize. Whomever they are, they need to check their automated message. The message seems to start as soon as the phone rings so by the time the voicemail picks up, the automated message is already half-way through. I never get to hear who is calling and barely make out the phone number. Since I don't know who it was that called I don't call back.
Something fishy here. If they really Cingular; why are they calling my (former) home number? Cingular should be calling me on the cell phone they sold me if it's a legitimate call. I got so many bogus calls on my home phone I hooked my fax and an answering machine to it and made it my published business fax number. I never answer it anymore, I was getting sales calls at 9pm and as early as 7am. Most of the folks I want to interface with know my cell #, the rest can leave a message. The call from Cingular must be uncool.
It was AT&T Wireless to let me know that I was late with my payment!
OK, here's a good one. I called the number back to tell them I don't HAVE ATT and to leave me alone (mind you, they are calling on my WORK number). So, he asks me my NAME so he can note my call...I give him my first name and then he asks for my LAST name, which I told him I did not wish to provide and was it necessary? He said it was and I told him I would NOT give him my last name and he said then he could not help me!!!!!!!!!! He did explain that they would be calling for a late charge on a bill and that perhaps the person who used to work here had given them this number at one time (which I am sure was what happened), but he also said there is NO WAY to find my number and have it removed, unless I have the wireless number they are calling about. Great way to do business huh?
AT&T/Cingular BLOWS
The call is a scam to git information from you. Beware.
at&t was tring to coolect on phone bill.
AT&T bill collection
Repeated calls from this number. I have a Tracfone PREPAID phone...must be telemarketing.
We kept getting this call every morning at around 9:30 am (Eastern Time); finally we called back the phone number for the "important information about the account". They wouldn't give any info about the account, but wanted us to pay the bill with them. They asked a lot of questions, giving no info. Later, talking to AT&T, they had NO RECORD of ever having called the phone number.
BE CAREFUL - THIS IS A SCAM!!!!!!! GIVE NO INFORMATION!!!
Caller ID didn't display any useful information, but a recorded message chimed in after three seconds; voice claimed to be from AT&T. Dubious.
Automated message. Said "This is an important message about your Cingular Wireless Account" nothing more other than to call back.
There have been postings regarding this number for since Sept. 2006. I don't have and never have had cingular or at&t. Can't something be done about this?
They are calling on my cell, my minor children's cells and home. This after a payment arrangement was made.
It's Cingular about past due accounts
AT&T saying they have a question for my account. They said all they need is my social security number. NOT just the last 4 digits, but the WHOLE SSN!
Arrghhh! Called my Ringmaster number I use for business calls. We haven't used Cingular Wireless in almost 2 years. I blocked the number!
I have never established any kind of service or bought any kind of product from Bell South "Mobility" in my entire life, neither with AT&T, nor Cingular; however, strangely enough, after I have for bad services reasons, two months ago canceled my LAND LINE plus INTERNET connections from Bell South, I then last week, received a notice of collections in the amount of US$120.46 from an account the collections agency alleges it was established in 1997!
As I'd informed the presumed agency I have only and exclusively used Verizon Wireless for my cellular services throughout my entire life, they (Afni, Inc. P.O. Box 3427, Bloomington, IL 61702-3427) informed me in a very nasty tone that "I need" to provide them proof, via receipts from Bell South, that I had been “released” from the aforementioned debt.
As I mentioned to the attendant that this is ridiculous, as “how to present receipts from a service I didn’t use, request or bought”, the Afni’s attendant told me literally that “I was not being forced to pay”, but “the record” would remain unless I dispute it.
As I made contact with the telephone 1-800-947-5096 which now belongs to AT&T, since it bought Bell South and Cingular companies a year ago, the attendant just told in blunt terms, he would not be able to help me, though there was NO OUTSTANDING BALANCE REGARDING TO MY RECORDS, however my information had BEEN SOLD TO a collections company that might even have re-sold it to another one. (sic)
This is AT&T Wireless (formerly Cingular) calling to tell you that your payment is late. They usually start calling on the day the payment is due. It is an automated message.
This number belongs to ATT automatic services.
This is the fifth time I have a received a call within the week. Nobody answers when I answer the call. Who is this caller, anyway, wasting other people's time?
no message
I couldn't understand a word they said at first, until they asked for a payment. They made that part clear >_
This is a call from AT&T Wireless about our wireless account.
I have filed a complaint with the Kansas Attorney General for harassment tactics from AT&T. We had poor service and changed carriers. They have flooded our phones and mail boxes with junk about wanting us back and info about our account. We do not have AT&T/Cingular and will never consider either again. I keep getting calls even though I did file with the AG. They just could pay big time. Keep it up folks!
They claimed to be AT&T about my Wireless service.
A T & T WIRELESS. TIME TO PAY YOU BILL
GET A CLUE PEOPLE!!!
ATT is the largest cell/phone company in the nation!!! They don't need to hide their identity because they can cut off your phone service. Phishers can call randomly and hit an ATT or Cingular customer, maybe 1 in 3? They are phishing for your info--don't give it!!!
I'm surprised that ATT hasn't looked into this-it's been going on for years. Maybe you can't blame this scam on them, but the fact that they haven't alerted their customers is a sign of why their customers think it could be them--their business practices are not the best, IMHO. (From a 10 year cingular customer-they still have the best plans for us!)
Cingular
ive been getting a call from this number with the automated message asking to call them back for 2 months now. I dont and never have had att or cingular so I called them back. They had nothing to tell me other than to register for the do not call list that we are already on!
I dont know what to do to make them stop calling!
AT & T late payment. Not a third party collector so they do not have to identify as bill collector. FDCPA
These idiots had me on their late payment harassment list -- we did have a past due bill, but they were still calling days after we paid the thing in full!
These imbeciles call whenever my corporate phone's bill is overdue. My company pays every quarter (according to the deal they made iwth their Cigular rep) so i get calls the four or five days before the bill is paid. Cingular/ATT is really screwed up, so I just ignore them. If I answer the people who are calling seem to be uneducated and rude.
This is AT&T/ Cingular wireless billing office... calling about late cell phone bill.
left me a message saying it was an important message about my Cingular account, but I don't have a Cingular account. don't have cingular service, going to call the datcp (department of consumer trade and protection)
This is a scam. It is easy to fall for if you have AT&T/Cingular service. This is just like fishing websites. Make sure you initiate any calls that involve billing information. If a company calls you always call back the number that you have for the company, NOT the number left in a message or on the caller id.
I've gotten like 8 calls within the past week from this number. I've never answered it because I don't recognize the number. If they really wanted to speak to me, why don't they leave a message? What should I do? Do I keep ignoring it?
I received a call from this number on my cell. I did not recogn ize it so I didn't answer.
Received call from this number on my cell. As i did not recognize it I did not answer. No voice mail left.
I have At&T wireless service, so I called back as directed on the machine. They said they have no reason to be calling me, not late, do not owe anything, they say that they have no record of even calling me. They are trying to blame it on my landline service. So, I called them and inquired, land line said NO, not us, has to be At&T wireless dept since that is what the message says it is from. At&T supervisor would not even come on the phone when I requested one. Somehow, someway their automated service has my number in it and they are not aware of it. VERY ANNOYING!! I cannot imagine how they would act if I actually owed them money or was deliquent!! Pain in the ass!
good info. I saved the number as :
Do Not
Answer
No message left, I don't understand why they keep calling the business number. We don't even have ATT Phones???? I wish there was a way to stop this annoying harassment.
Actually, in the US it's not illegal for bill collectors to not identify themselves on a caller id unit.
Check your FDCPA regulations, Bill.
Bill collectors are supposed to identify themselves when they leave messages or talk to you. Most will go by an abbreviation because it is illegal for them to give third party information out (even on an answering machine) and most have some kind of banking/money related term associated with their name.
keep leaving a message to call and then they tell me that they do not know why I was left the message!
Yeah, AT&T, late payment. Bastards. Bill says that's illegal. Class-Action people!!!
They called twice in a row, the first time only ringing 3 times, when answered, hung up, they called back and started asking personal information, when I said legally they can't ask without identifing, they hung up without ever saying who they were.
Ironic that Cingular is calling the cell number that I just got a couple weeks ago from T-mobile. You'd think these idiots would get a clue that the number doesn't belong to them anymore. Morons! And then they leave a voice message, which is as illegal as a three dollar bill!
Seriously considering whether it's worth my time to sue for the $500 statutory damages, because they're butt naked guilty.
they call me at 5-9 in the fucking morning all the god damn time- I called them back and apparently there was nothing about me or anything in their database. The agent said she had no idea- hmmm so I'm guessing that Cingular needs to change their phone number because someone has hacked it. I hate these sloppy bitches.
first time they left a message being from cingular... i don't have cingular. second time did not leave a message.
Credit management services
may be a part of cingular
erroneously chasing me for 300.00
they called me today.
didn't leave a msg.
got called a few times. so sneaky that didn't even leave a message.
WARNING PHISHING ALERT
Claims to be from new AT&T This number is not registered to AT&T BUT If you call they will tell you that they are AT&T and will try to get your name and social security number to "see if someone opened an account in your name" BEWARE
The message said to call back because they needed information about a payment on my AT&T account which is funny because I don't even have AT&T.
Phishing scam. Coordinates info to make themselves sound legitimate.
Left a message for me to call this number for credit cards
i dont have att/cingular. i never did
they called on my sprintpcs phone
I got a message from them, saying it was from Cingular or the new AT&T. I dialed Cingular/AT&T through 611 and they verified that this is indeed their financial department, calling to collect on a past due balance. I think it's legit, but I would not answer and call Cingular/AT&T yourself to inquire.
Questionable caller. Claimed to be ATT/Cingular Wireless. A person that identified herself as Connie Allen asked for SS# and account/personal information claiming that she needed the info to process a refund. Told her to leave a number, found this info, and decided it was best not to call back. Check arrived soon after without problems -- beware.
Can't we sue these bastards!!! I'm being harassed. They ask for personal info. They don't identify themselves. This is wrong. ILLEGAL OR NOT...IT'S WRONG!!!!!
I got a partial message on my voice mail, only got the 800#, I'm not even a Cingular/AT&T Customer.
I got a call from 1-800-947-5096 on 09-06-07 no info in the voice mail anbout who or what the call was about all it said was this is 1-800-947-5096 thank you for your business. Strang seeing as how i have never gave this number to any business that I have ever bought anything from so I thought I would look it up and see who it was when I came across this site thanks everyone.
I get this call every month I never answer it due to the fact it says toll free call my bill is due on the 28th and it usually falls near a payday so I usually pay it within 5 days of the 28th.. I usually get this lovely call by the 29th or 30th argh! funny thing is they never call my phone which is the main line they call the other ones of course no one answers because it says toll free only... the first post says its illegal for them to do that how do we make them pay up for this illegal act? It'd be nice to have the extra cash from them :)
I am on the phone with an ATT rep right now who is trying to figure out this 800-947-5096 #.. trying to determine if it is internal.. seems to be unfamiliar with it, wasting my damn time as I have no affiliation with them at all, just want the calls to stop!
Continuously leaving me voice messages about making a payment apparently, no identification on in the message so I looked it up and got this site... I recently aquired the lan line number they are calling upon moving... guess I'll call them and have them remove the # from the calling list, I have sprint! :p
If they are calling me for payment on an account, why do they need my SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER? Why can't they tell me what they beleive to be my social security number? Me thinks this is a FRAUD!
I had a call this am from the 1-800-947-5096 #. I let the machine pick-up as I was busy. The "new" AT&T was calling about my account. The thing is, I don't have one. A week ago, my husband had his cell phone stolen so I thought I'd better call and see if someone else had opened an account in our name. They couldn't "verify" and account without our social security #s. I GAVE THEM! No. They couldn't find an account! Immediately after the phone call I got the sinking feeling I had just made myself a victim of Identity Theft! I called the police to report it then called all three credit reporting agencies and bought a $129 "fraud insurance package" from EQUIFAX!THEN I reversed the phone number and found this site. Hours of my day are shot! I'm out $129 that I wouldn't have otherwise spent AND my stress level I'm sure is off the charts. PLUS I feel like a darn fool for giving out social security info over the phone. How many times have we all heard, "NEVER GIVE PERSONAL INFO OVER THE PHONE! ESPECIALLY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS" I am going after them for the $129, The stress and being made to feel like a fool! I'll keep you posted. And thanks for this site whoever started it! It helped me!
Did roundhouse calls to all the phones on the plan to get to the name on the contract.
Annoying!
No caller id information I let it go to vm. It was a lady saying it was from the NEW AT&T and it was about my account wanted me to call them back @ 8009475096. I never called them back
yea its Cingular, or as they like to call themselves "the new AT&T"
I answered, no one talked and I hang up.
This number has been calling every morning at the same time for the last three days but the ID just says Toll Free Number. The voice just says to call the number to settle your bill but DOES NOT identify WHAT bill I am supposedly late on. How do I know this isn't a scam?? This really ticks me off. If it weren't for this site I would still be wondering who it is.
got a call waiting while i was on the other line. did a reverse lookup as i always do with a number i dont know results gave nothing so i googled the number. thankfully i found this page. told my husband and we will not be answering his number. they didnt leave a message or anything but it dosent matter, we pay our bill online. glad i found this page! thx yall!
NO MSG
Phone rang and I did not answer it after seeing the number. I let it go to voice mail. when I returned the call, all I got was thank you for your business. I immediately hung up.
Funny thing is, I just paid my Cingular/new AT&T bill via THEIR WEBSITE yesterday and today they are calling me. WEIRD!
Get calls from this number, but no message. The phone # shows on my caller I.D.
got a call this morning
i am not even a cingular customer and i get this call once or twice a week! i have verizon.
i got a message from the on my vmail at work. Yet its a new job and no one knows the number. They were probably calling the last guy
the number 1-800-947-5096 showed up on my cell phone for the 4th time in a couple months about my service with Cingular. I never have been and never will be a cingular customer. Sorry, faithful verizon customer for years and with annoying phone calls from these fools, I know why!
We are receiving calls about once a month from this number leaving an automated message stating that our service will be disconnected if we do not pay our bill. When we call Cingular, they state correctly that our balance is $0.00. But they could not explain why we keep getting the calls.
Very Annoying!
Got a call today & since the number did not show up on my id I let it go into voice. The message was some woman calling from "the new AT&T" about payment arrangements and an automated service number. Since I don't have AT&T I ignore them but since it's showing here as Cingular, my guess it's a scam to take your money.
Really annoying. Cingular calling saying payment was late...the payment was like 3 days overdue...damn! they must need money bad...give me a little grace period before you start calling...
rec'd call on cell @ my office - but we have terrible reception inside the bldg, so I never got to speak w/a person (couldn't understand what they were saying) The 800 # was displayed, but not "who" it was calling. Kind of weird that it wouldn't show if it is Cingular, since I am a Cingular customer!
Yes, this is Cingular calling. They will get you on the phone and claim you MUST give them your Credit Card info or have your phone turned off at the end of the call. Do this: Stall them with excuse like 'hang on a sec gotta get my card' or 'hang on a sec and let me pull up my records.' While they are stalled, go to Cingular.com and pay your bill online. Get the confirmation code! Then tell the person on the phone that you just paid the bill online and have a confirmation code and if your phone gets cut off you can sue them for cutting it off AFTER payment was made. Yee-ha!
I get the call from 800-947-5096 about every other month. Three times I have had "staff" check into having the calling stop and have been told 3 times that I should get NO MORE CALLS. I just got another call on 5/22. They know what they're doing - RIGHT! What's really amazing is that the calls come on my NEXTEL - I don't even have Cingular Wireless!!! Probably never will if they harass noncustomers like this!
It claim from ATT aka Cingular. HHAa funnie part is I never sign up for cingular. IT bs don't pick up
I have a Cingular account, but have never missed a payment. They have no reason to call me.
No need to answer these calls...it is just Cingular wireless remind you that your payment is due...whatever happened to the mail.
nothing but the number on the screen
It was Cingular Wireless telling me to call them back and pay them their money.
Cingular called regarding our "wireless acct" giving the number to call as 1-800-947-5096
We have USCellular, and I used to work for them, so I know they didn't give my number out and we didn't collect on past due accounts like this.
Two minutes after the first automated call we got another call from a call center, this time with a guy asking for Jerry Wilkerson to pay his bill.
Our number was given to us by USCellular, so maybe this guy had Cingular in the past?
THEY ARE PHISHING FOR INFORMATION. DO NOT PICK UP.
It appears the left hand don't know what the right hand is doing at Cingular as you make arrangements and pay the bill as arranged and they still call. The caller did identify the phone as Cingular. By the way, I agree with Bill.
Caller lft msg for me to call regarding my wireless bill. I called back,recording said to enter my wireless #, or to press "1" for new sales or service. Those were my only options. I do not have Cingular, therefore do not have a bill with them. So, I hung up!...
Cingular - late for a payment -- but it said unknown name - isn't that against the law to hide your identity when collecting a bill?
These people call about 3 times per day every day of the week. I havent had Cingular Wireless in over a year. They leave an automated message "imporant message about my account"
this one is the most annoying i've had. so relentless
They called and said "This is Cingular Wireless. We have technical issues with your port and you need to please call us about this if you would like it switched back to your old wirless carrier. Please call 800-459-4521? Im going to the cingular website and calling them from that number... I'll give you an update.
It's Cingular...oh wait it's like they say "The New AT&T"...LOL I can tell you first they will track you down. First they call my cell and then 10sec. later called my house. The Caller ID say "TollFree Number" and then this recording comes on saying that you are past due on your bill and then a real person comes on and tells you the same, but one catch ONCE they get you on the phone you MUST PAY or your service will disconnect at the END of the CALL... Trust me it happened to me today. I told them I would not give personal info over the phone to someone that; I would go online and pay it in 5 to 10mins. she would not let me do that and had me on the phone back & forward for about 15mins, so I hung up on her and went online to pay... and my service disconnected by then..(reconnection cost me $36.00 per phone).... SO WHATEVER YOU DO... DO NOT ANSWER UNLESS YOU GOING GIVE THEM PERSONAL INFO OVER THE PHONE TO SOMEONE THAT CLAIMS TO BE FROM CINGULAR & AT&T... Maybe if the Caller ID said cingular or AT&T I would of felt little safer giving my info over the phone to a total STRANGER.
Said the call was from Cingular Wireless, warning about an outstanding balance. When I said I would call Cingular and settle the account, this way I know it is ligitimate and not a scam of getting my CC info. She insists that my service may be discontinues and that online payment service may have already been disabled, this even after I assured that I would call back to settle immediately. False info. I was able to make payments online still. Suspected the call was a scam I tried to see who really was calling.
left me a message saying it was an important message about my Cingular account, but I don't have a Cingular account. They call every day
Don't answer.
Automated message. Hung up after it said "This is an important message about your Cingular Wireless Account".
I recieved this call from "Name Unkown"
This number just called me on my Cingular cell phone (and through a google search I found this web site).
I thought I could hear movement or other noises in the background, but nobody responded to my voice asking who was calling.
Annoying
Cingular left message about late payment on bill. Good thing too - I'd forgotten about it!
This is the same number that's called me in the past several times.
They asked me to hold for this important call.
I used *69 to retrieve the
number that called me.
Filling up my voicemail with promotional crap
Assholes calling
they called me, left a message on the machine saying they were from Cingular and were calling about my outstanding bill. I don't have anything from Cingular and never have. I use T-Mobile.
Cingular Wireless Receivables...refused to identify themselves the first 5 times they called when I asked who was speaking.
Cingular calling because of a late payment.
It was Cingular Wireless calling to say I was late with my payment!
called id said 800service
no caller id info available. missed the call.
Bill collector:
Technically it is ILLEGAL for a bill collector to call you unless they identify themselves on your caller id unit
