"American Express Security Report Notification" Phishing Scam

getting multiple msg with American Express that my card suspended, this is funny because we don't have AMX. Dated 2/26/2019

This has just started happening to us as well and we do not have an Amex account. I just deleted the messages without clicking on the link.

The wording, capitalization, and punctuation should alert any AMEX card holder, but of course we're all in a hurry these days and might miss the errors.

The phish I got was so ludicrously amateur (and obviously not from a native English speaker) that it gave me more laughter than concern. I hope others are quick to spot it, or simply know better.

Scam still going around:-

Received this email today, July 18th. Looked suspicious and I don't have an American Express account so it is even more suspicious. Thanks for posting this update so I could confirm my gut reaction.

I received this message on July 17, 2018. It was intercepted by my email application which placed it in my Junk folder. As is usually the case with trash messages like this one, it is rife with syntactical and punctuation errors, typically a dead giveaway that the message is bogus.

I just received this message today, July 13, 2018 but did not open any attachment. Seemed strange and there was no logo attached.

I got what I BELIEVE to be a "phishing letter" but it concerns me because I have been fighting identity theft (victim) since No. 2016 and one of the cards she tried to open in my name was American Express.

I have NEVER had this card and I'm worried she might be trying again.

Sincerely,
Georgia.

Client received the same scam today. Seems this scam continues to be alive and well. Luckily GoDaddy security blocked it so my client wasn't tempted to respond. Sigh...

IO received the same scam today. I knew right away it was a scam.

Received this scam today....all sorts of hints it was a scam; spelling, syntax, name...pitched it after I took a screen shot and notified Amex.

Considering I no longer have an Amex card, I thought it was rather strange to receive this:

Thank you for this alert. I got something that started out exactly like the one you showed as a scam, from the same email address as you described.

I have not opened that email "alert" (which I have received twice in two days) so I can't confirm that the rest of the message reads as you have posted above. I just deleted the emails since I am not an AmEx customer and figured that the emails must be a phishing scam.

Kudos to this website for performing this important public service.

I received this message but I am not an American Express holder. Should I be concerned with other issues since this messenger did have my E-mail address?

No, there is no need to be concerned, just do not click on the link in the email and follow the instructions on the page you are taken to.
