Awesome.  I get a new number from Verizon and the next day I'm getting AMEX collection calls for the previous number owner.

Call from AMEX....They left no message.

Just scammers pretending to be Amex.

Stopped paying Citibank, Discover, AmEx about two months ago.  Here are the numbers they have called us from so far:

8592838071
8777928215
6236432575
9545032843
6234928037
8002667073
2123803114
8019459061

AMEX.  I guess i missed my due date

Yes, its AmEx.  If you're late on a bill payment they call.  What annoys me is that they don't leave a messsage saying, "Hey, your bill is past due."  That would at least alert me to the fact that I goofed and forgot to pay the bill.  Very unprofessional not leaving a message.

Scam. They are phishing for Amex users. I have no Amex.

2 calls a day for Over a week, someone finally answered and just tried to confirm my name then hung up on me.

Just got a call on my cell from this number no message left so I just placed them on my reject list

Just so you know, you CAN have your number removed from accounts....but they will get you back.  I did this with Wells Fargo credit card because I was receiveing a handful of telemarketing calls per day on my cell phone from them.  I asked they remove the number from my accout and stop harassing me trying to sell me things.

The politely said they would remvoe the number and two days later, they completely cancel my credit card account even though I had it for 11 years, not late payments, a high limit and low balance.  It hurt my credit to have a balance due on a closed account and changed my overall debt to credit ratio.

I called them, and they said the only reason for closing the account was because I wanted them to stop calling me.  They have a right to cancel under the card tems whenever they want and for whatever reason they want.  They told me "We have a right to call you whenever we want" LOL

So you CAN get your number removed, but they can be petty and try one of these "revenges."

It's American Express.

We've been getting harassing phone calls consisting of nothing but annoying tones from this number, as well as other "unknown caller" numbers. The calls started right after we hit a rough patch and got behind in payments to American Express. We suspected it was AmEx, but didn't know for sure, UNTIL they slipped up and used THREE of those same phone numbers to instead deliver an automated message ASKING US TO CALL AMERICAN EXPRESS. (It's a good thing we logged those numbers!)

In our case, almost all the calls are pure harassment, consisting of loud "beeeep beeeep beeeep" tones that go on and on. When the answering machine answers the phone, the tones continue until the machine times-out and disconnects. When we answer the phone, we are also greeted by the same loud tones. These are not telephone company type tones; at least, not like any I've ever heard before.

Generally, we get about 2 to 4 (or more) of these "tone" calls per day, coming in from any of the following numbers:

212-300-5091 ...tones
212-365-4761 ...tones, or an automated msg from AmEx
212-380-3114 ...tones
602-537-9011 ...tones
623-492-7299 ...tones
623-492-8037 ...tones
623-492-8976 ...tones
800-266-5832 ...tones
800-266-7073 ...tones, or an automated msg from AmEx
801-945-9060 ...tones
801-945-9061 ...tones, or an automated msg from AmEx
801-945-9065 ...tones
866-260-2386 ...tones
866-544-8416 ...tones
866-884-0976 ...tones
954-503-1806 ...tones
954-503-2843 ...tones

A few calls from these numbers were "silent"...no tones, no nothing.

A few calls of the loud tones have come in from blocked IDs (unknown numbers).

Anyway, embarrassing as circumstances are, I figure someone else might find this info helpful.

several calls that i missed no message recorded

No message - no reply without it!

Thes [***]! I don't even have any account or business with American Express nor does anyone I know! They are barking up the wrong tree in ths case!!!

Looks like I'll have to contact my lawyer so he can pursue this case! Sheer harassment as well as clear TCPA violations in this case!!!

Whether or not these [***] are AmEx or their collection department they don't seem to get it! They sren't going to get through as I already blacklisted this and and the other numbers that claim to be AmEx!

It's a good thing the service I use to try and stop these harassing type calls has a call log, that's how I found out these moron's tried again! But they won't get through!

They have absolutely mo reason or justification for calling me as I don't have an AmEx Card or an account with them!!!

And I'm still not sure this is really AmEx or AmEx Collections either!

"It's a scam. I called American Express's customer service line to ask if they were calling me for any reason (I don't trust a regular area code). This number is not in their records as being from any of their departments."

http://www.everycall.us/phone-number/1-212-380-3114/

"I receive the same calls from AMEX and don't have a card. While it may be legitimate collector (fishing for someone who might know someone who is delinquent or from an old phone number), I would be very careful about putting a credit card number in to a prompt without knowing for sure they are who they say they are.

...
Do NOT give your credit card to someone who calls you."

"They claim to be American Express when you call the number back, and then instantly ask for your 15 digit card number. 1)I don't have an American Express card 2) Go to any authentic credit card web site and the first thing they will tell you is that they WILL never ask for your full card number personal information"

Calling people who don't even have an AmEx Card or account? Still sounds fishy (or rather phishy/vishy) to me!!!

And also claiming to be AmEx Collections from another number:

https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-336-393-1085/3

"I received a call from them at 7:10 pm.  After reading the posts on this forum, I called them back to see if someone would answer (I do not have an AMEX card).  The call eventually rolled over to an operator and I explained to him that I did not have an AMEX card and did not want an AMEX card and asked him to take me off of their calling list.  He had me confirm the number that I was calling from and then said he removed me from the list.  He was very nice about it and did not try to solicit any more information from me or try to sell me anything."

"They call us constantly.  We don't have an American Express card, never have.  They call a ton from all kinds of different numbers.  Sometimes the Caller ID says American Express sometimes it doesn't.  This is a phishing scam.  Try giving them a fake card number and they will tell your bill is late and they need your SS#, etc.  DO NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION TO THEM."

Please see the long post  (following the above) on the thread for this other number!

"It's a scam caller claiming to be AmEx, "vishing" for account information.  You can read about my experience here, if you'd like: http://tinyurl.com/6cxlgcu

If you have an AmEx account, I recommend calling their official customer service number (probably listed on the back of your card or on their official website) before calling this number."

Now these [***] are calling from a different number in New Jersey!

(623) 492-8037

Be on the look out for this one!!!!

Yes this is American Express, they keep calling me

How can you be sure?

These numbers have many complaints across the internet from people who don't even have an account or card wirh American Express! Big red flag right there!!!

This is from my next to last post:

• Those that do have American Express has called the number on the back of their card and and AmEx stated that these numbers aren't theirs
• The ones calling are calling people who din't have AmEx
• At least some of the numbers can be traced to IP Addresses and others to mobile phones!

Just one word for these scumbags (directed at them) .... [***]!!!!

They really must be brain dead! They aren't ever going to get through. PERIOD!!! They will always get the same message greeting them each time whatever number they use!!!

Always calling people who don't have any business with American Express and trying to scam them out out of their money!

The FTC has been notified, next my lawyer!!! In short, I'm not buying their bs nor am I ever going to fall for it!
These [***] are total moron's!!!!

One other thing, I have called American Expresses customer service number (listed on their website) and spoke with one of their representatives (had to keep saying "representative" to get someone)... they confirmed that NONE of these numbers below are American Express numbers and do not go to any other department or service connected with or to American Express:

CID: AMERICAN EXPRES     (212) 380-3114
CID: AMERICAN EXPRES     (623) 492-8037
CID: AMERICAN EXPRES     (801) 945-9061
CID: AMERICAN EXPRES     (954) 503-2843
CID: AMERICAN EXPRES     (602) 537-9011
CID: TOLL FREE CALL         (800) 266-7073

And also the AmEx rep stated that they WON'T call you ... but rather it would be you (if an AmEx account holder) calling them! They'd NEVER call regarding such as discussed in this thread. They do what's known as inbound calling in other words ... not outbound as in the case with each of these reported numbers claiming to be AmEx!!!

It's a vishing scam, folks!!! DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY INFORMATION TO THESE [***] AT ALL!!! REPORT EACH CALL, INCLUDING, TIME OF DAY, DATE, CALLER ID INFO!!! They are phishing for your personal information to either bleed your account dry (if you have an AmEx account) or worse, steal your identity!!! It's a SCAM!!!

http://idtheft.about.com/b/2009/01/19/american-express-vishing-scam.htm

"I received my first vishing voice mail today. The call came in early, and the voice mail said American Express needed to verify charges that were being made to my account. They asked that I call a specific number, not the number on the back of my card and enter my full 16 digit account number to be taken directly to the security department.

I knew immediately that it was a vishing call because I am not an American Express customer. But even if I were, I would never call a number left on my voicemail and enter my full account number. I assume that American Express would have that number and would need nothing more than the last four digits to verify my identity.

Identity theft and credit fraud criminals are getting more and more sophisticated. Beware of any incoming call that requests information that the company should already have on file. And when in doubt, always hang up and call the number on the back of the card, not a number provided in voicemail."

http://www.americanexpress.com/us/content/fra ... ncename=default

"Phone Phishing (also called "Vishing") is another way fraudsters try to collect sensitive information from you. In this type of fraud, the fraudster will either contact you by telephone or send you a fake e-mail and ask for you to respond by telephone.

If you are ever in doubt about American Express contacting you by phone, simply call the number on the back of your Card or on your account statement. Be sure to enter your account number when prompted and you will be routed to the correct department for assistance.

What Should You Do If You Supplied Sensitive Information over the Phone to a Suspicious Party?
If you have already responded to a suspicious caller with your American Express account information and you believe it to be fraudulent, please contact American Express immediately by calling the number on the back of your Card"

http://www.blindmansfaith.com/updates/2009/04 ... 1-800-592-1176/

"Last night we received a call from a person named Margaret (left a voicemail) saying it was about an important business matter and not a sales or marketing call. Wanted us to call back at 1-800-592-1176.

The message itself was very suspicious because if it was an important message, the person would have left a note about what was so important about it.

We did some searching on the web and found that this is a group of scammers who claim to be from American Express. When you call back, they’ll request your social security number as well as your American Express card number before they’ll tell you what the “important matter” was.

Anyway, thought we’d post this on our blog in case any of you get the same message. The more information that shows up on Google search engine, the more informed others will be when they search for this number.

The most annoying thing is, we get these calls in the middle of the night (Shanghai time) because we have a California telephone number. We use a Packet8 IP phone, which is basically a U.S. landline in China! We get a bunch of random sales and marketing calls in U.S. time!"

And another thing ... Caller ID has "AMERICAN EXPRES" (one "s", not two!). If it were actually American Express or their collection arm it would be spelled "AMERICAN EXPRESS" with TWO "S"'s or TOLL FREE CALL (for any 800 number)!!! - But of note, American Expresses numbers are all 800 numbers (check their website)!!!

With the exception of the '*800" numbers, all the other numbers that have 'called' can all be traced to IP Addresses which indicate either a cell phone and/or VoIP service was used to make these calls!

Those making these illegal, harassing scam calls:
• ask for full account number plus social security number as well
• Call people how don't have an AmEx card or AmEx account
• Voice on other end is pretty much one with an Indian Accent
• And since the other numbers they call with is IP traceable that also could mean the numbers are spoofed

As to this particular reported number... traceable to IP addresses:

http://www.verifyphone.com/phone-lookup-reviews/212-380-3114

"Reverse IP Search Tracer for 2123803114

This reverse phone number was traced from the following IP addresses: 161.149.102.186, 65.51.40.130, 174.252.129.14, 76.18.33.102, 66.249.76.53"

Which indicates it's either from a cell phone and/or a VoIP service is being used ... possible Caller ID spoofing as well!!!

And also, to note ... They sometimes follow using a 000-000-0000 identifier, which means they're calling from an international site.

And as to those IP Addresses (in my last post):

161.149.102.186 - City of L.A.
65.51.40.130 - IMAGE SOLUTIONS CVNET/Cablevision Systems Corp.
174.252.129.14  - WIRELESSDATANETWORK/Cellco Partnership DBA Verizon Wireless
76.18.33.102 - Comcast Cable Communications, Inc.
66.249.76.53 - Google Inc

Cablevision Systems Corp.
WIRELESSDataNetwork : Verizon
Comcast Cable
Google Inc !!!

Cities: Los Angeles CA, Bedminster NJ, Miami FL/Western U.S. (for Comcast), Mountainview CA ... but NO Manhattan NY (where the 212 Area Code for this reported number supposedly comes from)

I also have the full whois info for the above as well.
