Maybe I shouldn’t be as pissed as I am but, for me, I like using my Apple card for autopay because I get 3% back with T-Mobile charges. What I like to do is use my CCs to max my rewards / cash back and then pay off my card each month.
Maybe I’m overreacting, but I’m not happy about this. Of course I don’t want to pay an additional $40 a month on my phone bill so yes, I’m switching autopay to a Privacy card, but F—, man.
Okay, I’m done lol
Edit 6/6/1023: So I made a new virtual card but when I add it to my T-Mobile account the site adds it and says it’s not supported for the discount. They’re going to force me to enter a physical debit card or bank account or pay an additional $40/month.
T-Mobile really has been sucking with their service strength in NY. But they’re doing very well at driving me crazy.
This text message is the fake scam link people click on before discovering a bunch of card fraud and having to call their bank to dispute a charge. Do not click that link. Call T-Mobile using their official phone number online and verify it’s not a phishing attack before doing anything.
Edit. People in the comments saying it’s legit. If true, TMobile chose the shadiest way to send these messages out. It’s just good practice to never click on unsolicited links before making sure it’s not phishing.
It’s legit, is sent from the same shortcode that account updates and such get sent from, and their official app also has notices about it.
Don’t really see anything wrong with the way they did it.
Scams are fun to analyze, unfortunately, this is legit and not fun at all
