URGENT: New AT&T Billing Scam Targeting Small Businesses

We're seeing a surge in fake AT&T billing emails targeting local businesses across the country. These sophisticated phishing attempts are designed to steal your login credentials and financial information.

How the Scam Works

The scammers send emails that appear to be from AT&T with subject lines like:

  • "Your AT&T Business Account is Past Due"
  • "Urgent: Service Suspension Notice"
  • "AT&T Bill Payment Failed - Action Required"

These emails contain convincing AT&T branding and logos, making them difficult to spot as fakes.

Red Flags to Watch For

  1. Generic greetings: Real AT&T emails use your actual business name
  2. Urgent threats: "Immediate suspension" language designed to create panic
  3. Suspicious links: Hover over links to see if they lead to fake AT&T domains
  4. Poor grammar: Look for spelling mistakes and awkward phrasing

What to Do if You Receive This Email

  1. Don't click any links in the email
  2. Don't enter any login information on linked pages
  3. Forward the email to spam@att.com
  4. Delete the email from your inbox
  5. Check your actual AT&T account by logging in directly through att.com
