Expert Opinion
Heads up: calls from +44 800 917 8132 often claim to be from American Express, so a little skepticism goes a long way. Before sharing any personal info, hang up and call the official Amex number printed on the back of your card or listed on the company’s website. If the caller asks for security answers or payment details, treat it as a red flag and end the conversation. Use call‑blocking tools for repeated unwanted calls, and consider reporting persistent harassment to your phone provider. Keeping a record of the call time, number, and any recorded message can help you and the issuer investigate further.

official AMEX account concerns
The voicemail message left by this number seemed suspicious, but as I possess an AMEX card, it appears they were genuinely contacting me regarding my account
Despite blocking this number, I receive at least three voicemail messages daily. A recorded message, supposedly from American Express, urges me to contact them urgently. When I call their main number, customer service claim it's not from them. Notably, these calls began after I cancelled my card due to insufficient use to justify the £30 annual fee.
This number is actualy a legitamate call from Amex, I'm not sure why people think its fake

Amex UK verified my card usage in a legitimate call
Following my accidental cancellation of a direct debit, I've been contacted by Amex's credit depatment, despite others claiming it's a fraudulant call
Verified by Amex on 30/12/23, this number is indeed used for scam calls aiming to obtain security details; a common tactic involves providing the first four digits of the card, which are generic and used by all cards to identify the provider; beware of postings suggesting legitimacy, as these may be from scammers exploiting a weakness in this website's posting system; never disclose security or login details over the phone
Legitimate call from AMEX regarding an overdue credit card payment. Paid over the phone, and my app updated instantly. To avoid future calls, log into your AMEX account and settle the payment; no need to pay over the phone.
I think this number is related to American Express, but I'm not sure
