800-824-9289 / 8008249289

I got a couple phone calls from 18009923404 and 18008249289. Both numbers are valid for the American Express Security Group because I called back to AMEX using the credit card number and they verified the numbers and the fraud charges on my account.

I got a message from American Express tonight saying to call this number due to a fraudulent charge. I called and they had all my information (previous charges, name, address, etc.). They said they were canceling my card and are sending a new one. Then I started to worry that maybe this was some elaborate scheme and that maybe they weren't American Express. So I got the fraud number off the AMEX website and called them too. They confirmed that I was indeed talking to American Express and that a replacement card was on its way. I think this 1-800-824-9289 is a valid AMEX fraud line number.

This number is to the american express account security group they are the dept that handles fraud attempt and decline verification on your acct in other words when you are sitting at a register and your amex gets declined and or a please call message is sent to the merchant you are shopping at because of this group you receive a call usually with in a day or so to verify that it was you or if your card was stolen. if you have never had a card you may want to check your credit report or if you had a card then maybe someone is trying to use an old card of yours but it is a legit number.

I just called this number and it is Amex. They had charges that i tried to charge and were declined earlier today based upon fraud speculation. They knew the place i used it and told me the reason fraud filters declined my card. If this was a scam, then they also know your account history and when you used your card and that is above and beyond elaborate. They also said in the Voice mail they left me to dial either this number on the number on the back of my card.

I called the number on the back of my card and I was asked about the same transaction as in the email. Also the email says "You may also call the number on the back of your card and when prompted by our system, please enter your 15 digit American Express Card number. This will automatically transfer you to our Account Security Group." I don't know of any phishermen that would write that in an email.

The 800 number they ask you to call is also published on the American Express website. I called and in fact it really was American Express, checking a possible fraudulent charge. It's too bad their recording sounds so phishy! I was ignoring it for weeks before I finally sat down and investigated, only to find out it was legit!

I received this call this morning, and I called the number on the back of my card instead of the number in the message. There was no fraud on my account, however, AmEx said it was a legitimite number. I have only had my home telephone number for about a year, and I still get calls all of the time for the previous owners of the number, so most likely the call I got was really intended for someone else. Other people might be getting the call in error for a similar reason -- some people are really lazy about updating the information when they move or get a new telephone number. Credit card companies will track you down and update your address when you move if you fail to do it, but your telephone number rarely gets updated automatically.

I received a voice mail from this number telling me to call the American Express Account Service Group about possible fraud activity on my account. I had cancelled this Am Ex cards a year or more ago. I was curious, so I called the number and the rep asked me for my card number. I said I didn't have it (which was true) and she asked if I felt comfortable giving my full SS number. I said no, so she just took my name instead. She said she saw where my account had previously been cancelled but that someone had used my account number on a dating site. The payment did not go through (since the card is cancelled). I asked how this person could have gotten my accoutn number and she said the person likely entered in random numbers. It was interesting to know they still report fraud activity to people of cards that have been cancelled.

You don't know what you are talking about. This is a legit number for the Am Ex Fraud Alert Center. I had my account compromised and because I read your misinformation I almost didn't check that there was a problem with the account. Before you post make sure you have all of the facts!!!

That is bs. Whatever you do people, call the number on the back of your credit card -- you know that is a legit # and then American Express can tell you if they had contacted you or not.
