Am I the only one receiving these pop-up messages many times per day that pretend to be "...a TEST of AT&T Wireless Emergency Alerting System. Please ignore the message. AT&T is going to be testing the 360 char Alert Text with WEA Alerts. If you receive this Alert please disregard it..."   The message is basically the same every time and it's become very annoying.

I think it's a virus and I've done everything I can think of to stop it. Any suggestions?

I just talked to customer service and they have no record, but they don't receive records of state/local emergency test. I only get them in Texas starting last week on Monday. I went out of state and they quit, and got my next one 5 minutes after getting back inside the state. Just go into your settings and disable state/local tests

I received 8 on 11-22-24. 2 so far today, among other days. It's getting ridiculous.

I had 3 go off on the 18th, 2 on 19th, one on everyday up until today I've had 6 go off so far and I have a feeling that more will be popping up today still. I have had all of my alerts off and haven't installed anything since about a couple months ago which even then it was the amazon alexa app. It's really getting annoying and I hope they fix this soon.

I've been getting a BUNCH of these AT&T Emergency Alert Tests. I don't even have AT&T and im getting them. Nobody else in my household are getting them and they kind of seem like some sort of virus.
