The email message with the subject "American Express Cardmember Report Requires Your Action," which claims the recipients' need to follow the instructions in the attached form or webpage or else their cards will be deactivated, is another phishing scam sent by cybercriminals to steal their victims' American Express account and other sensitive information. Therefore, recipients of the fake email message are asked to delete it and not follow the instructions in it. American Express and other legitimate companies will never send an email message to their customers with an HTML or webpage form attached and ask them to submit their passwords, credit card information and other sensitive information. Therefore, recipients of email messages that ask them to submit their passwords, credit card, and other sensitive information, should delete the messages and not follow the instructions in them.

American Express cardholders are asked never to click on a link in an email message to access to their accounts. They are asked instead to go directly to American Express's website and sign into their accounts, and if there is something wrong with their accounts, it will be displayed to them.
