Six months ago I received a FedEx envelope. The FedEx part was real. In the envelope there was an envelope with a letter and a sim card. The AT&T letter said they are sending me an updated sim card for my phone. I need to swap out the sim cards. The AT&T letter seemed suspect because it looked like it came out of a 1970s copy machine. I called ATT and they said to NOT install, scam. The sim card would have given the scammers my phone and the ability to call remotely with my phone. Pretty sophisticated scammers when they’re spending $15 on FedEx.
