    This AT&T charge is a total scam! Saw it on my statement on 9/22/2023 and I'm furious. Time to fight back and get a refund ASAP!

    Hey, don't panic! I had the same issue and it turned out to be a legit charge from an online shopping site. Take a deep breath and contact your bank for clarification. They'll help you sort it out!
