I’m 72 years old. I received 6 calls from 866-294-3464. A man, Steven Collins, from California, from AT&T, said AT&T had a lot of its’ accounts hacked, and they wanted to transfer $300 into my checking account, and they wanted to give me $300 as a courtesy for my inconvenience. He told me to go to my computer, and go to Team Viewer. He gave me a code number to access it, 228348. I gave him my social security number, checking account access, routing number and bank accounts. I asked why he didn’t send me a check, and he said because they have thousands and this was easier.

The next morning, I went to the bank and closed my account, reported Social Security and put an alert on my credit report.

Contacted by phone, used actual AT & T phone # on called ID. First person says they have an offer from At&T DirectV and Ebay. They know my phone number and address without me giving them any information. They say if I go to 7-eleven and purchase a 300.00 Ebay gift card, there is a promo going and I can reduce my At&t Directv bill to 59.99 per month. I need to pay 6 months in advance and will not be billed until the sixth month again. The 59.99 will be my bill for the next 24 months and I will receive the complete package including all premium channels. They will also send me a 100.00 Visa Gift Card. They than transfer me to a supervisor to confirm the promo. He tells me after I purchase the Ebay gift card to call 888-980-8542 ext 1, scratch off the security # on the back of the gift card, give the number to the customer service rep along with Promo Code #DTA4455. The only reason I listened to this scam was because I had the real AT & T toll free #800-288-2020 programed in my cell phone and it did come up the same number. I later called back the 800 number and At& t assured my this is a scam and they have no promo like this going. Someone proceeded to call me back later in the evening asking if I had purchased my Ebay gift card yet and Identified themselves as At& t. I told them I called AT & T and they said this was a scam and told them not to call me again.

I received a call today at 1:00 PM today – it was a recording to push 1 to talk with someone. I pushed 1 and was told to open up my computer and they would tell me what to do to fix it; I did not open my computer. I knew it was scam. They asked for my personal information but I did

not give them any information. I did call AT & T and the 800-288-2020 was their legitimate number. I was informed that the perpetrators

(who had a foreign accent) were spoofing the number.
