Expert Opinion
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.

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.
