Scam
SCAM: Reposting from Dean Shimomura "Scam Alert!!! One of my personal rules is to not give any personal information to an incoming call and to call back a number that I know is correct. And it worked. I received a call from 1-800-528-4800 that woke me up at about 5:12am. I didn't answer the first time but did answer when they called back a second time. The female on the call knew my first and last name and told me that they were from American Express and had just declined a purchase in New York for a charge made on a credit card account that was just opened, under my name. I told them that I don't have an American Express account and didn't open an account and I did answer a few questions that didn't ask for personal information (like, did I open an account?, did I lose any of my IDs recently?, etc.). I got disconnected and didn't answer any of the 6 calls when they called back (the caller ID said it was American Express). But, one of the call backs was from 1-910-279-8316 (I don't know this number and maybe they screwed up with their spoofing this 1 time). I went online to American Express and found that their customer service number matched the number of first incoming call (1-800-528-4800) so that was concerning. I called and spoke to a representative that confirmed that I don't have an active American Express account. I filed a report with HPD online this morning."
