Not sure if this is a scam
 
Dear Cardmember costumer,

We detected irregular activity on your Cardmember card. For your protection, you must verify your account before you can continue using your card.

Please use the link below to verify your account immediately:

http://www.chinapr.com.cn/www.americanexpres.com/

We will review the activity on your account with you and upon verification, we will remove any restrictions placed on your account.


Between the Russian english 'costumer',the chinese domain name and American Express being spelled wrong i'm gonna go with 'it's a scam!'

nice try!

Yep getting a lot of them the past month or so...

Don't be so sure, some of these companies just get lazy with their linking. I would at least login and verify your account before discounting it.

TeenCat 09-14-2011 09:24 AM

why would cardmember use some .cn server in china? and as always, if you are not 100percent sure it is clean, do not enter ... :2 cents:

Only way to know for sure is to jump in with both feet.

Shey 09-14-2011 09:28 AM

no need for that, I sent them an email with my American Express number just to make sure they have the right person.

cn stands for Card Number, this is a legit mail :thumbsup

Adraco 09-14-2011 02:05 PM

Of course it LEGIT!
Why would anyone ever take the time out of their day to send you an email if they didn't have a legit and important arrend???

Now quickly do as they instruct and login, give your full and complete details including any safety numbers and secret passwords, don't worry, how could anyone else than your real card company know your email?

halfpint 09-14-2011 02:20 PM

Lol i got one from the tax office saying they owe me money and I should give them my banking and credit card details so they could pay it to me. Looked pretty good too even with a form to fill out all the details
