Expert Opinion

Patterns emerge as callers repeatedly probe credit‑card acceptance, especially American Express, and claim to act for a relative. Most interactions sound scripted, with background chatter suggesting a call‑center environment. Recipients should never process payments from unsolicited sources, ask for verification of the caller’s identity, and hang up if the request feels off. Block the number in your phone system, report the incident to the FTC and your carrier, and consider a call‑filtering service. Keeping a log of the call details helps authorities spot broader fraud trends. Staying skeptical and protecting payment channels are the simplest defenses against this scam.
