"American Express Wе havе Lіmitеd your Account" Phishing Scam
The "American Express Wе havе Lіmitеd your Account" email below, which claims the recipients' American Express accounts have been limited or temporarily suspended, is a phishing scam sent by cybercriminals. Therefore, recipients of the fake email message are asked to delete it and not follow the instructions in it. American Express customers who have already been tricked by the same phishing email message, are asked to contact American Express immediately for help cardholders before their accounts and credit cards are used fraudulently by cybercriminals.
American Express cardholders are asked never to click on a link in an email message to access to their accounts. They should instead, go directly to American Express website (www.americanexpress.com) and sign into their accounts from there, and if there is something wrong with their accounts or cards, it will be displayed to them.
