I got a text from 1(999)999-9999 saying they were returning an “overcharge” amount. Is this a legit refund, or a scam?

What was the full content of the text? If possible can you share here? 

Anyway, from your description, it seems to be a spam text.

Here is the screen shot.


Everything in that text screams scam


I got the same message and can’t see anything in my bill. 


I got it too… it was actually recognized as spam by Google or Samsung (don’t know which)

The people above say it's a scam text. Do not click on anything in it 


Definitely a scam, lots going around right now. Don’t click links from unknown numbers like that

I clicked the link from the text, but realized when it loaded my bank page it was a scam. No info was added. Can they still get information?


If you haven’t logged in or provided any additional information, no harm would be done. If it’s a personalized link you would have “confirmed” that your number exists, but that’s about it.
