ATT*CONS PHONE PMT

What the hell is this for? I already have service that is deducted from my bank account monthly

I learned recently that my American Express Platinum card was being charged monthly for what I thought was a AT&T Uverse recurring payment. However, after some investigation with an AT&T representative. I learned that the charges are fraudulent. The monthly transactions appear as AT&T Uverse Payment with a payment # (60CS7917EPA) followed by AT&T EZC PMT. I had to call the credit card company to dispute the transactions -- but could only go back 90 days. In the meantime, I got ripped off every month beginning 2/9/2019 thru 3/9/2022 for over $1300. UGH!

Usually AT&T land line services. Call them at the listed number hit zero and be prepared to wait, a HUMAN will answer.

I KNOW THE SOLUTION TO THIS. IT IS ABSOLUTELY NO AT&T DOING THIS. IT'S ABSOLUTELY FRAUD. THE CALLER PRETENDS TO BE AT&T TO GET YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER TO "PAY YOUR OVERDUE PHONE BILL", BUT THEY ARE NOT. THEY ARE IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH AT&T. THE RECORDING SAYS "THANK YOU FOR CALLING AT&T. YOU HAVE REACHED A NON-WORKING NUMBER. PLEASE HANG UP AND DIAL 800-288-2020. THANK YOU FOR BEING A VALUED AT&T CUSTOMER." THEN THE RECORDING BEEPS PRESUMABLY TO LET YOU LEAVE A MESSAGE. THE ONLY SOLUTION IF YOU FIND A CHARGE ON YOUR CREDIT CARD NOTED AS FOLLOWS: "ATT*CONS PHONE PMT 800-211-6605 TX" IT IS FRAUD. OR ANY OF THE VARIABLES LISTED ON THIS SITE THAT ARE SIMILAR. CALL YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY, REPORT IT AS AN UNAUTHORIZED FRAUDULENT CHARGE AND TO BLOCK ANY FUTURE CHARGES AS WELL FROM THAT VENDOR. The number they tell you to call in the recording does in fact belong to AT&T, which is why so many people believe it's actually them. Clever fraudsters. This is why so many people go round and round with AT&T. They prey on the elderly as well and got my mom with this tactic. She's 85. I caught it in time though and I am going to see if I can get AT&T to somehow go after them since they are presenting themselves as AT&T. AT&T should have a vested interest in going after them. Look at all the wasted time their employees spend when people call them over these charges. We'll see. Good luck everybody.

charge start for internet

I've been getting "hit" with TWO deductions from my bank's checking account. One states "ATT CONS PHONE PMT" and, the amount under this heading IS the correct amount for my bill. The other payment, ATT BILL PAYMENT, is an amount that NOBODY from ATT can tell me about. I had my bank go after ATT and they reimbursed me for one of the four months where this happened. I lost out on one month because I didn't notice it until after 60 days had lapsed. There is NOBODY at AT&T that can do anything so, now, I need to cancel my debit card and get a new one because of this FRAUD. I also STOPPED the automatic payment and asked that an email be sent to me when my bill was due. I thought that it would stop the fraudulent debit, but it has not. I paid my May bill on May 6th. I checked my banking and, there is a payment being posted to AT&T dated tomorrow in an amount that is NOT my bill amount. Folks - if this is happening to you, STOP THE AUTOMATIC PAYMENT, get a new debit card, and stop the FRAUD!!
