800-567-1083 / 8005671083

Also got this call after applying for a Costco Amex. They left vm two days in a row, but told me to call 800-567-1083 which did not match the number on the Caller ID. Called Amex and no-one could trace that number. They gave me another number to check my application: 1-800-962-7227.

Called asking me to confirm information for an amex application, and could provide when I applied for a card(seems ligit). But still seemed fishy, I called the number on amex's site and found someone to talk to this way instead. The service rep didn't know about this number, or the ID i was given by the original service rep. I don't know if this is just a case of amex not knowing whats going on within their company, or whether it was actually a phishing scam.

This is completely legitimate. I applied for an American Express business card through their secure site at americanexpress.com, and two days later received this phone call. Upon calling them back and providing them with my social security number and date of birth, they had all information that I had provided on the American Express site, and sent me my new credit card in the mail, for the exact credit amount that they had stated on the phone.

I received a call stating that they are from American Express

This is a verified number with american express. As you can see from other postings. You are able to bypass putting in your SSN and speak with a live person who is able to use other things to confirm the caller.

i got a call at work from a "sweet" lady who said that she was with american express (which i had just applied for a card) and, in order to continue my application process, they needed my birthdate and social security #. i said i didn't feel comfortable giving that out, so she told me to call 1-800-567-1083. instead, i googled the number and found this site. i then went to americanexpress.com and called them and they said it was NOT them and that they NEVER ask for that info. this is TOTALLY a scam!

I received a message from a lady with a strong english/indian accent saying something about AmEx. I could not understand her message. Since I'm already an AmEx card holder I was concerned there was an issue with my card. I called 800-567-1083 and spoke with the same lady that left the message. She asked for my name and said there was a new card application in my name. Said she would need my last four of my SS to verify my identity. I said I was not comfortable giving this info and she seemed irratated and kept on insisting on my last 4 to help me. I hung up and I called the AmEx number on the back of my card and she did verify that the 800-567-1083 was a number for new card services at AmEx. I just received a new Costco card so I suspect they also try to sign you up with an AmEx card.

It's real - not fake. I just got the call right now from a woman who had my name, and asked me to verify my identity with the last 4 digits of my SSN and the address I applied for the card with. The address I gave when I applied was my new one, and I haven't officially changed it yet, so they were calling to confirm that this actually is my address (since it doesn't match up with what's in the system) and said I could do so via a bank statement sent to my current address, via a CPA, or they could call the bank and talk with the bank to confirm. Afterwards, I was given this number to call back, but decided to confirm with AmEx first.I just called the AmEx number I was given when I applied for the card at Costco, and asked if this number was real. The man I spoke with (who must be an AmEx rep as I don't think Costco gives out fake numbers) said that this number IS one of the numbers they provide for customers to call back. I also double checked the ways in which I can confirm an address with them, and he said all the same ways the woman had.It's legit.

I got the same call and I told them to send a letter through post as I am not cannot disclose bank details over phone.No sure when they can SSN and other details why they cannot get the address. Credit History contains all the details including address.

WARNING!!!!!This is a phishing scam. American Express verified that this is not legit!!!! I ordered two AMEX corporate cards through my company, received the cards and activated and used. I got a call from an Indian saying that he needed to verify some information and he was trying to get my SS number, home address etc.. He couldn't confirm the dates, number of cards that I have or anything. Don't give any information to these people. I immediately enrolled in Lifelock just to cover myself.
