That is usually a different issue, the message does not come in from any phone number, not even your own, it comes in from an email address. I've received them on AT&T also. Many of this phishing emails come from Russia although a large number are also from the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Mexico, North and South Korea, and Iran.
