The recorded message claims to be from AT&T Direct TV. They want me to call them back about saving money on my account. Problem is, I don't have an AT&T Direct TV account. I think this is a phishing attempt to obtain account information. If you call them back, they will obviously ask for your account information. By itself, that will help them to hack you. But, they will undoubtedly continue asking for information until you say "no". But, by then, they will have already collected information, contributing to a scam against you. FCC: Make this crap stop! You know their number 1-844-329-9812. Can't you find where this number is routed?
