I got my ATT bill and found a little over that. Thankfully I have unlimited text. Last month was only 628 messages and that was high! I recently installed mcleaner to block spam texts and calls could that be the cause or did ATT make a mistake? FYI I probley sent around 400ish.
 
I would definitely call at&t and report this. The next bill you get could have thousands of dollars in international calls you didn't make. And when you call them about this, they're going to be pissy and ask; if you knew your phone was being used fraudulently, why didn't you call earlier (and maybe try to make you responsible for the charges). You have to protect yourself.
 
Think I figured it out!

I had it set to respond to text messages that were blocked someone texted me through a website and when they logged off the server sent a text it sent a text back and it sent the same again repeating thousands of times. As of now I checked and no charges apply for now should be ok since I have unlimited plus any data used to send them would be covered.
