definitely legit.  they knew the details of a conversation I had with them yesterday about a credit.  they were confirming I would receive it 48 hours.

This number called me. I didn't answer. They left a VM regarding a specific question I had called them about two days earlier. Not a scam. None.

I recieved a call from AMEX from this number.  They called to answer questions I asked about using my card internationally.  Seemed legit to me.

This DEFINITELY is a scam. The new part I had not seen before is that they also sent me a simultaneous email from KCY1 with subject "American Express Verification Request". So they had that info, too, which made me an especially good target.
The very nice woman with an Indian accent asked for the bank account number that AMEX sends money to when I use the merchant account. I asked her to tell me what account they had on file and I would tell her if that was correct. She couldn't do that so I said forget it. She very nicely said I should call Amex customer service and give them the verification number and do it through them. I called Amex and  they immediately said it was bogus and to not open any links.

Guy with indian accent claiming from AMEX Merchant Services requesting verification or risk suspension (lol) of my merchant account. Called the 866 number he provided and a woman with indian accent asked me to verify (or provide to them) my business name, address, wants me to fax over my business incorporation certificate.

I said I would fax it, but instead I called the real AMEX number from my statements and a man with normal accent says I have nothing to be concerned about.

So, we are in USA. Next time I hear someone with indian accents asking for confidential info I will just hang up.

You people sit here and argue beating a dead horse ! It's SIMPLE !

Call the Number on the Back or your card for ALL BUSINESS issues or go into a local branch ! SIMPLE !

NEVER give out ANY personel info UNLESS it is a legit number from the back of your card or from the banks website ! SIMPLE ! PERIOD END OF STORY PEOPLE !

If you get a call from a number that your not familiar with, hang up and call back so that you know your dealing with your financial institution ! Don't call a number back that someone you don't know gives you or your caller ID shows !  Look up the correct number from known resources and call back ! Yes it's a little more work and if it ends up being that the original caller was legit just apologize and tell them your just being cautious ! It's a fraud department they will totally understand !

In this era of computers and cell phones, scammers can hijack legit numbers and make legit numbers show up on your caller ID when it's not the number your really talking too ! Scammers can break into phone switches and do all sorts of things that's why if you call a number you have researched your safe !

NEVER NEVER NEVER give out personel info to incoming callers ! Again like many others have said, your bank has this info and for verification purposes they will only ask for the last four numbers of your SS number ! If they ask for the entire number BE SUSPICIOUS and never give it !

LAST BUT NOT LEAST . . . . Take care of and continually educate and remind your elder friends and family members to never ever give out any of their info ! They often get confused and pressured into giving their info to these scum bags ! What kind of low life p.o.s. preys on our elderly and steals their money they have worked an entire lifetime to earn and save ? ! Really ? These scum bags should be strapped to a tree and shot right between the eyes ! Better yet staked to a bed of red ants in the Nevada desert and left there to die a slow death ! Yes extreme but I HATE thieves that steel from the working class because they are too lazy and stupid to go out and make their own money ! Get a phuking life !

There is a check  they have to mail out

This is REALLY American Express. They contacted me because of a payment to my business they were trying to process, but had issues with our address (our business just moved).  The number they called from was 602-766-6484 out of Phoenix.  The message asked me to call back at 888-511-0706.  This turned out to be legit.  SO....this is NOT a scam.

I received a call from a man (Amhan) with an East Indian accent. Call was from Phoenix, AZ. He stated he was calling from American Express Merchant Services about some payments they were trying to send to a Interrell Meat Market (?). Then gave me a reference number (NY5947366) for when I called back to phone # 1-888-511-0706 ext 70575 anytime Monday through Friday 7a-330p (Modern Standard Time or Mountain Standard Time, couldn't understand the first word). I don't have an Amex card, nor did I request one so whether it's legit or not, it's unsolicited.

I got a call from this number yesterday about a purchase. I called Amex and they confirmed that they did not call me and there are no fradulent transactions on my card.

Got a call from this number and a lady asked for my address and last my banking and routing number right off the bat.  She claimed she was with American Express Rep, but just really seemed fishy with how force full and how direct and her tone in the conversation went.

Also, became very cautious when I had talked to American Express the previous day and they claimed that everything was setup correctly.

While on a brief hold, I googled the number and I came across this report.  And got various answers through this report.  Some saying it was a scam and others saying it was okay.

So to others that are out there and chose to read this, best thing I can suggest is to hang up and call american express direct.

who is this ???   I want these calls STOPPED !!!!!

Bogus! Caller claimed to be from Amex, stated I had applied for a card online (I had not done so, never have). Asked for last 4 digits of my SSN. Never give out your personal identifying info when an unknown party calls you. Credit card companies do not call and ask for your personal identification over the phone....they're too savy and concerned about fraud and we should be too.

Got this call from this number. They called my home and my cell # . I tried calling them back and no one would answer the phone. They called me at 7:23 a.m. my time. Why would they even call me???

This is actually Amex.  I work for the company, just got a call, and yes, we have some people that have accents.  I don't ever recommend giving any personal info out over the phone, however.

wow, you must get a LOT of complaints about how rude you are!

Thank you! That's exactly what I thought.

I received a call from a woman with an East Indian accent. Call was from Phoenix, AZ. She stated she was calling from Amex about a letter going out to my business (?) and had to verify some information. Then gave me a confirmation number for when I called back to phone # 1-888-511-0706 ext 70553. I don't have an Amex card, nor did I request one so whether it's legit or not, it's unsolicited.

I applied for an Amex Blue Card through an online partner. I filled out the information, and received a message that AMEX needed to speak with me personally to give me the credit card. They called today to verify. So, yes, I believe it was AMEX. It's legit. If it was a scammer, they would have already done the damage on line. I think that they just wanted to verify a name with a phone number.

Part of a fraud campaign targeting numerous financial institutions.  Note the pattern of shill postings all claiming the number is real - an obvious giveaway.

The large number of phony posts claiming the call is real come from some con artists spamming the site to try to fool people.  There is a similar pattern to other fake calls claiming to be from Chase, Citibank, Bank of America, US Bank, Wells Fargo, RBC, PayPal, etc. all with the same shill postings:

I was on the phone with Amex trying to troubleshoot an online problem and was disconnected.  I happened to notice this number on my cell phone later as a missed call with no name, so it is possible it was legit and just amex trying to follow-up.  No message left.

Guys, this number is LEGIT, stop being so sensitive. They won't call you to get first 4 numbers of your SSN and then middle 2 with other calls :)

This number is from KYC a company that works for AMEX. BUT THEY SHOULD BE FIRED!  I am a merchant who set up an account with AMEX to accept their cards. I got a call from this 602-766-6484 from a women with a very heavy accent who talked very fast and would interrupt and never give any verification as to who she was and WHY I should have to fax my company check to them. She spoke very fast and was very hard to understand half of what she said. She would interrupt me every time I tried to get her to verify who she was. After several times of trying to interrupt her constant stream of vocal noise I got her to tell me WHY. She said they couldn't read the company name & they needed it to conform to a home land security law. BUT she had previously told me she did not have the copy of the faxed check. Now she tells me she does.*** I called AMEX and it was legitimate. But the number is in India. So...If you feel comfortable giving people in India your personal info who are not even polite enough to positively identify themselves.... Also, WHY IN THE WORLD DO I HAVE TO FAX SENSITIVE INFORMATION TO INDIA TO CONFORM TO HOMELAND SECURITY LAWS!? But I called AMEX and it is all legit. So go figure.

two calls from 602-766-6484.  When I looked it up online found out that people were getting calls from the same number and were told it was from Amex.  These calls were on my cell phone.  I do not give this number out.  When I called back there was no answer.

602-766-6484...two calls in a row on cell phone.  When I called back there was NO answer.  The call did not go to any voice mail or any kind of customer service.  I did not apply for a new amex card or any new credit card.  Also, credit card companies are really not suppose to call anyone on their cell phones unless you ask them to.  I have no idea where this number is from or why they called me and will not answer it in the future but will report it now.

I got a call from the 602 number; when I don't know a number, I let it go to voice mail, but no message was left. Interestingly, I had been online with AMEX today, so it could be an AMEX number, although no one answered when I called back within a couple of minutes of their call.

Ah, ah, ah...read the posts.  If someone is spoofing the number and there is even one complaint about the number, I give NOTHING out.  Am just considering getting rid of the house phone; nothing but solicitors and scammers.

I had a call today from from a lady with a strong accent claiming to be from Amex from 602-766-6484. She said we see you have recently updated your bank account and we want to verfiy we are depositing to the correct account. I said what accounts do you have on file and I will tell you which one is correct. She said I can not give you this information. I said I can not give you any information either since I do not trust you. She knew my name and when I updated the business account. I said ok then goodbye. I called Amex immediately to see if it was fraud. The agent checked in his system and then checked with the bank department. The number is out of Phoenix, Arizona but is NOT affliated with Amex. This number is SPAM!!!

This 6027666484 is BS and SCAM, Better report to AMEX. I updated my information at AMEX merchant account and I got reply confirmation from real AMEX before this Indian woman called me. AMEX uses the 1 800 528 5200 customer service number. Not this BS number from Arozina. So if you got call from local number with any area code, do not answer what they ask. Phone number must be official customer number according to AMEX  website. Other than that ALL SCAM. I am sure someone is selling from AMEX.

I got call from this number and they asked my bank account for validation, I replied as I got call from AMEX yesterday and get my merchant account already. Why do you need this info. The woman with Indian accent told me they need to verify it. I don't believe it. SO I said to mail me official letter, She told me email will be sent. I came to me but seems not right. I think It is BS. I wonder how did they get my phone and email address? someone from AMEX is selling our info.
