866-231-9049

Call came to my cell phone, they left a message asking that I call 8662319049 and have my American Express card number ready.  I'm quite certain it's a scam.  The number that called was 336-393-1086.

I was having issues with my American Express card being accepted at an airport parking garage.  After three failed attempts at having the card read, it was finally approved on the fourth swipe.  Within 30 minutes, I received a call from 336-393-1086 and it was American Express calling to confirm that I had the card on me and that it was not stolen.  I was impressed with the prompt service.  If my card had been stolen, I could have cancelled it during that phone call.

Same as above - In July 2008 I too received an automated message on my answering machine claiming to be American Express, claiming not to be a telemarketing call, saying it is an urgent matter about my account, and askng me to call back 1-866-231-9049.
My wallet with 2 VISA cards and my Social Security card had been stolen just 2 weeks prior with my cards getting used fraudulently, so I've been very wary about Identity theft issues already.
I called the number which has a phone tree that sounds much like American Express's actual phone tree, but when I got a person and didn't give them an account # (I hadn't had an active AMEX acct for years), they asked for my SSN.
I hung up and got online to find AMEX's 800 number from their valid website.

When I called AMEX's 800 number they said no such 866 number existed in their system.

I decided to call that 1-866-231-9049 back and confront them myself.
The women who answered and transfereed me around INSISTED they are AMEX, gave me their address, representative name, representative number, blah blah blah...all the while INSISTING they were the "real" American Express"

I told them they'd better stop whatever scam they were trying to run imediately, I even called the AMEX 800 number back on my cell phone and had people from both numbers on the phone with me at the same time in different ears, the "866" folks claiming to be real and the 800 folks saying whoever the 866 folks were that they were absolutely were not associated with the real American Express.

GGGGRRRRRR! I hate that such scammers exist!!!

1-866-231-9049 EXT 26592 (Ann Iskow) is that Ann is a cow?
She called my office and asked for me, she said it was a personal business matter.
As far as I know I don't have an AMEX account to have a personal business matter with.
They would not put me through to Ann.
I asked if this was a marketing department for AMEX, they said no.
I said let me speak to Ann @ EXT 26592, they wouldn't put me through without an AMEX number or SS#...
