I received a call today in Spanish -I live in Mexico City- from this number:01800 888 2639
The caller identified herself as an Amex employee. The call was regarding some additional benefits I was entitled to due to my good credit record. She needed to know my relative names to whom they could extend the benefits to. I refused to provide info over the phone and requested a number and a name to validate the call. The number is the 800 number above which is similar to the mentioned above. Inmediately after I started inquiries about this number. Local Amex said not to know the number aducing the global nature of the biz. Internet guided me to this directory. After reading some of the above contributions I assume the caller is Amex insurance and I interrupted their sales pitch.

Got calls from this number daily at 11amish and 3pmish
All hang ups. I call thje number and get the response that "you can't call this number from your area)

I got this call (a hang up) on my cell two days in a row. I called back and it said it was a courtesy call from American Express. I'm guessing, however, that the number was just being used to display the CallerID. The pattern (for me) is very similar to the number 989-953-8998. I suspect (maybe I'm wrong) that this is an attempt to verify that your number is valid since valid numbers are worth more on the black market than non-validated ones.

Yeah... it is AmEx "curtesy call"... called AmEx customer service demanded to removed my phone number from their calling list... she said the list is in a marketing company... she will try her best to remove my number... still getting a call about once a week... darn......

I recently completed a AMEX application through Costco also and received a call from this number so Rob is probably correct that this 888-750-2639 is from them.
| jj 2011-06-06 21:05:58 Unknown |
I got calls from 888-750-2639 around 10 times a day. All hang up, I call back, it says 'coutersy call' from american express
| Wilson 2011-06-06 21:05:58 Unknown |
i received 9 on sept 30, 2008. i want to be removed from their calling list
| ray 2011-06-06 21:05:58 Unknown |
Got a call form this number today at 11:25 am and can't call this number back
| Rob 2011-06-06 21:05:58 Unknown |
Nearly 20 calls in the past 4 days... I'm sure this is related to a recent AMEX application filed through CostCo. There is legislation in Canada that says they have to provide a way for you to get a hold of them...obviously no one complies with that. There is also legislation that compels them to maintain a "do not call" list. I had this problem with another company a while back and managed to find a place to leave a message and lo and behold the calls stopped within a couple days. I have yet to try with this one.
| Flame 2011-06-06 21:05:58 Unknown |
Can't call back to this number...
| annoyed 2011-06-06 21:05:58 Unknown |
I've gotten 8 calls from this number in two days, all hang ups. I called the number and it was trying to set me up in a conference call...strange !!!
| John 2011-06-06 21:05:58 Unknown |
Yes its AMEX. If you call it back you get a recorded number saying its AMEX calling; no option to talk to anyone.
They called again (1-2 a day) just dead air.
| Guillaume 2011-06-06 21:05:58 Unknown |
Got calls from them almost on a daily basis. Turns out it's a "curtesy call" from American Express.
| Erick 2011-06-06 21:05:58 Unknown |
Just got that call at 5:45pm... Who the hell is it? I heard a guy say something, half cut off, then hang up.
| red 2011-06-06 21:05:58 Unknown |
I just got a call today from this number at 3:02pm.
| Racquel 2011-06-06 21:05:58 Unknown |
Received this morning at 9:31am. Courtesy call from "AMEX". I don't their card and don't want their business
| bel 2011-06-06 21:05:58 Unknown |
I signed up to Costco and got the AMEX card 2 days ago. I received 3 calls today. All went to my voice message. They were not totally dead air and didn't hang up for a while after connected to the voice box.
| Alain Hamel 2011-06-06 21:05:58 Unknown |
always hang up
| RJ 2011-06-06 21:05:58 Unknown |
Signed up at COSTCO on NOV 2 I have received a call 3 times a day from them. Am I approved or unapproved for the card? Can anyone answer my question?
Thanks
| Zeek 2011-06-06 21:05:58 Unknown |
Just got a call this morning. It's definitely Amex because I just got approved and my card will be in the mail shortly. Shouldn't I be excluded if I'm on the new DNC list? I believe so...
| Zeek 2011-06-06 21:05:58 Unknown |
Actually, no I won't be excluded because companies who you are a customer with are legally able to do this unless you ask for them to stop
| Jay 2011-06-06 21:05:58 Unknown |
I have been having the same thing, getting calls like 8 times a day... I picked up today, it was AMEX as you all had thought, apparently they are calling to ask more questions. I'm assuming the calls should stop now..
| SL 2011-06-06 21:05:58 Unknown |
Received the call today Dec 15, 2008 at 10:56am and again at 6:34pm. One day after I was approved for an Amex. Male caller had Indian accent and spoke and understood very little english. Has anyone called Amex to remove their number from this call list??
I will be calling Amex in the morning to get this sorted, just wondering if anyone has had luck with stopping these calls.

Got calls from 18887502639 repeatedly on my cell (and I get charged for them.) I just called AMEX and asked them to put my number on the DO NOT CALL list. The rep did it instantly and told me that it was effective immediately. Will see if I receive more calls and how effective or immediate it really was.
| ljw 2011-06-06 21:05:58 Unknown |
Am receiving calls mid afternoon (3:30) and early evening (7ish) with no message left.
| Harold 2011-06-06 21:05:58 Unknown |
This numbers has been calling me for a week. All hang ups.
When I call back it says that it is a courtesy call from AMEX.
| Toronto 2011-06-06 21:05:58 Unknown |
They are still calling people from this number, since I received a call from them today (but didn't answer). I will also try asking them to add me to their do not contact list the next time they try to call.
| Jeff b 2011-06-06 21:05:58 Unknown |
Damn AMEX.
i i have cancelled my service due to very poor customer protection service.
but get the call!

Company just called and my 10 year old answered identifying themselves as AMEX. They started to ask her more private info. about our address etc. she could not answer, I picked up the phone and they quickly hung up. I notice their phone number a few times each week, but they never leave a message.

It's your foreign accent :-)
