Like a blinking warning light on a dashboard, the call from 800‑824‑9289 can catch you off guard. It often claims to be an American Express fraud alert, urging you to verify recent charges. Before you share any personal or account details, hang up and call the number on the back of your card or log into your online account. Treat unsolicited pre‑recorded messages as potential phishing attempts, especially if they ask for your SSN or full card number. Keep a record of the call’s date and content, and report suspicious activity to your card issuer’s official fraud department. A cautious approach protects your credit and peace of mind.
The purpose of the call seems to be related to fraud protection, aiming to prevent or alert about potential scams.
