Caller: American Express

Thought it was an AMEX scam at first, got a follow up call about a transaction on the other side of the world. Definitely legit!

Phoned twice in 2 days and did not leave a message. When I return the call without the +61 in front of the number it reports "the phone is turned off, try again later". If I dial 0407 876 543 it says the number is not connected. Legitimate businesses do not phone without leaving a message.

Caller: THIS IS A SCAM

Text message seeking confirmation of recent charges to card ending in XXXX - do not reply. American Express dont even have an email you can notify them of this - what a crock of sh*t....called the number, asks for your credit card number. SCAM SCAM SCAM

I have received the same SMS message twice in 3 days. On each occasion the time of the message was exactly the time of a payment transaction using Amex at a Woolworths store. The message warned of approaching the credit limit on the card so that was the first warning sign as the card balance was nowhere near the limit. The second warning sign was the request to proceed to aa Amex website with an insecure http address rather than secure https. No way in the world would Amex do that! I have reported the attempts to both Woolworths and Amex. I currently use Woolworths Mobile so perhaps that is related?

“You've recently gone over your credit limit on Amex card ending in 81006. Prefer not to exceed your credit limit? Call the number on the back of your Card.”

I do not own an Amex Card. Was received 25/03/18 10:40pm

I spent $100 on my AMEX card today. I received a text from this number asking if I wanted to cancel the transaction. When I got home I rang AMEX Customer service. They said the number is genuine and was sent to confirm that others were not using the card.

Caller: AMEX

This was a legit text from 0407 876 543) American Express - they had blocked fraudulent charges on my card. i replied to the text with the correct number to say i didn't make the purchase and got a reply to call them. i logged in to my account to check and confirmed that charges had in fact been blocked so called AMEX using the number on the back of my card (not from the text message just in case) and sorted a replacement card on the spot.

Caller: Text Message

Received a text message from this number advising potential fraud on my Amex. Managed to block two fraudulent transactions. Cancelled card and new one sent out. Verified legit service with follow up emails from Amex.

Caller: 0407 876 543

100% scam! Spoke with Amex not their number.

Opened my contacts to call American Express, (I do have American Express saved in my contacts, NOT AMEX) & discovered this mobile number listed in my contacts & titled AMEX!
I did not add it to my contacts, so how the Fk did it get into my contacts!!????

Caller: AMEX

Just received email from AMEX. This is a scam. Email page poor imitation of AMEX and ‘Amount Due’ did not match AMEX statement I received in Dec 2022. Do not respond to this call or attached links.

Caller: AMEX

First time I’ve received a text from AMEX to remind me to pay my account. Treating it as a scam.

got this sms first warning me an incorrect pin attempt with my AMEX card and only ask me to go to my account to check. No link or money or info asked. Then later I got a proper email from AMEX reporting the same incorrect pin attempt. Legit.

I think it's legit. I got a text about 5 minutes after trying (unsuccessfully) to use my Amex for the first time in a year. it invites me to log in and view my account details. No link or anything else which could be dodgy

Received about 40 texts from this number in an approx 5 hour period. Knew that no reputable financial institution would intentionally initiate that many texts. Called AMEX on the number on the back of my card. They confirmed it is not an official AMEX number. Definitely a scam. Do not open the texts. Just delete them immediately without opening them

This is NOT a fraud message. 0407 876 543 is a genuine Amex number. I called Amex directly via phone number on back of my Amex card because this number sent me a fraud Alert warning. It was a legit. warning from Amex. If you're unsure about it call Amex directly and speak to them.

Caller: AMEX

These calls are from AMEX. I get text messages from that same no. Apparently it is a subscription service that I didn't know I'd subscribed to, but it is just an update on your card balance which ends with 'Please text STOP to unsubscribe or HELP for info.' Try that!
