These numbers 08009178047 and 08009178132 keep ringing me everyday. They say they're from American Express but the people on the phone have a really mixed accent, like some sound American and some sound Indian. Pretty clear to me this is some kinda scam.

So yeah, that 0800 917 8047 is actually printed on the back of AMEX cards, so it’s supposed to be a legit number. But from what others have said, it seems like scammers could be faking or spoofing it to trick people. Bit worrying if that’s true!

I’ve had dodgy calls from loads of different numbers, all claiming to be from AMEX saying there was fraud on my card. They wanted me to share a 6 digit code sent by text. Seemed pretty convincing at first. I asked them about a charge from last week to check if they were legit, they put me on hold and then vanished. I rang AMEX straight away, cancelled my card, but over an hour later they’re still ringing and texting. Proper scam.

I reckon this number belongs to Amex, so it’s prob not a scam itself. However, scammers could be faking it to trick folks. If you get a call from your bank or credit card company, it’s best to think it might be a spoof but also consider it might be legit. Just hang up and ring back using the number on the back of your card. Doing that each time stops them from draining your account.

Got a letter dated 31st October with an Amex logo on it saying my account’s been closed, which isn’t right at all. It also mentions some deal about getting 2,000 reward points if I sign up for a supplementary card, but now they claim they can’t give me any membership reward points. They want me to ring 08009178047 to verify my bank info to get £10 cashback. Bit fishy if you ask me.

Got a call from someone pretending to be the AMEX Fraud Department, saying there was unusual activity on my card. I mentioned I'd already spoken to the real AMEX fraud team earlier that day because of some dodgy charges, and they'd cancelled and sent me a new card. The caller said they hadn’t seen any of that on their end and then just ended the call. After that, I rang AMEX myself and they told me it was definitely a scam call.

Got an email and then a letter through the post, so I rang Amex to check it was genuine. It seemed a bit fishy at first but turned out to be real. My advice is never share any info if someone phones claiming to be from Amex - only trust them if you’ve made the call first. And always use the contact details from their official website, not any number you get in an email or letter.

So it was actually American Express. They sent me an email saying I needed to call a number to get some money back from a credit balance. I used the app to reach out to them safely, confirmed the email was legit, and then they processed the refund straight to my bank account.

Got a call from a private number claiming to be Amex, saying there was some dodgy activity on my card involving British Airways. They actually had my card number and date of birth, but the address they gave was a bit off. After I ended the call, they rang me back. When I said I thought it was a scam, they just disconnected. I then got in touch with Amex’s security team, who told me it was definitely a phishing scam and my card was fine with no suspicious charges.

Got a call from someone claiming to be Amex about a £125 transaction on my card. I told them I was tied up and asked them to ring me later. They wanted to send me a passcode to prove they were genuine, but I told them no thanks, thought it sounded dodgy since Amex wouldn’t normally handle things like that. I do use an Amex card, so it’s unsettling how scammers seem to get ahold of our info. The bloke kept stressing how “serious” it was.

I got a letter about a refund on an old Amex card I used around two decades ago, so I rang this number. When they asked for my bank info, I said I'd prefer a cheque instead. It came across as legit, but I never gave any details they shouldn't already have had. I've heard the number might be spoofed when calling out, but since I dialled it myself through Amex, it seems alright coming in.

Definitely a dodgy call! Got a ring from this number claiming there was fraud on my Amex card, which screamed fishy since I don’t even have one. The caller had my full name and phone number, which was a bit unsettling. Then when I asked a question, the bloke said something like ‘sorry to bother you at this hour’, even though it was a Sunday night. Why use cheesy lines if it was really about fraud? I ended the call but he kept ringing back multiple times, sometimes blocked and sometimes from the same number. Watch out!

This call really looked legit at first, but turns out it was a total scam. Someone rang me claiming to be from American Express, but when I contacted the official Amex team, they told me they hadn’t made any calls. The person on the other end got pushier and pushier, insisting I should give my card info right away, saying time was running out to block a payment. They kept trying to stop me from hanging up or calling back themselves, and couldn't even confirm any of my recent transactions. Definitely dodgy!

Complete scam! At first it sounded legit, but it wasn’t. The call said it was from American Express, but when I checked with American Express directly, they said they never made the call. The caller kept pushing me to give my card info quickly, saying I had to act fast to stop a supposed payment. They didn’t want me to hang up and call back, and couldn’t even confirm any of my recent charges. Definitely a dodgy number!

I've come to suspect that this number is quite dodgy. They rang me, claiming to be from BT's customer service regarding my internet security. However, the moment I mentioned that I'm not a BT customer at all, they simply cut the call. Just a word of caution to everyone out there. Stay vigilant!
