An individual with a noticeable Indian accent, claiming to be from a company like AMEX, attempted to acquire credit card information under the pretext of resolving a dispute. This was reported to the FCC as the communication seemed highly suspicious.
American Express scam calls: how to protect yourself!
Summary — +18665248196
Expert Opinion
Late Tuesday evening, dozens of users reported receiving calls that claimed to be from American Express. The callers typically leave a voicemail mentioning a recent billing dispute and ask for the card number or an extension to “resolve” the issue. In reality the number is not owned by Amex, and the voice often sounds like a call‑center agent with limited English. Never share personal or card details over an unsolicited call; instead hang up and call the number on the back of your card for verification. Block the offending number, report it to the FTC, and consider a call‑blocking app for extra protection.
