Surveys indicate a noticeable uptick in calls claiming to be from American Express using the +1‑800‑906‑0236 line. Callers often reference vague “open issues” or case numbers to create urgency, then request card details through caller ID spoofing or voicemail prompts. The script is typically inconsistent, with hesitant pronunciation and requests for personal data that legitimate banks never ask for via phone. If you receive such a call, hang up immediately, verify the number on the official American Express website, and report the incident to the bank’s fraud department. Avoid leaving any account information on unknown voicemails and consider enabling two‑factor alerts for added security.
A suspicious call was received from this number, with an Asian woman claiming my Fido account was in arrears, but I terminated the call since my account is up to date.
This is a legimate AMEX number, as verified by the AMEX support team on twitter.
Upon reviewing my voicemail, I discovered a message from an individual claiming to be Christopher, representing American Express, with a request to call 800-906-0236, ext 65653, regarding a case number that was remarkably similar to one I have pending with Amex. Following verification with Amex, it was confirmed that this number is not affiliated with them, suggesting a potential scam.
This is a scam, as the caller claims to be from American Express, requesting account numbers or other sensitive information, but the response system appears unprofessional and suspicious.
Following a call from this number, where the caller identified herself as Claudette Davis, I attempted to return the call but found her unavailable; her voicemail requested sensitive information, which I refrained from providing due to caution.
Beware of calls from American Express, they might leave a number like 800-906-0236, I called the number and the extension they left, and the person on the other end was very agresive
