New American Express Credit Card Identity Theft Phishing Scam
A new American Express credit card identity theft phishing scam is being sent out in spam email. The subject line is “A recent charge attempt requires your attention” with a random number, so that the subject of our sample reads “A recent charge attempt requires your attention 688836786” The spam goes on to ask “did you recently use your card?”
Do NOT Open the American Express Refund Authorization Email!
If you get email from Amex with the subject ACTION NEEDED: Refund Authorization, don’t open it, or if you already did, don’t click on it! It’s a phish scam!
