215-873-3443 concerns
I got a call from 215-873-3443 on my cell-phone recently. When I get a call from a number I know I always search through sites like CallerComplaints.com first to avoid possible scams. I've looked through the following sites for this 215-873-3443 number and I suggest you do the same:
Some people are claiming that this is an scam using the American Express name. And I've seen some people claiming that they are getting calls from this number asking them to call ANOTHER number and put their credit card number in.
Also, people are saying that they are getting a call from this number about paying off their American Express credit card even though they don't CARRY an American Express credit card.
You likely already know this, but you should NEVER call a phone number given to you by someone that claims to be from your credit card company. ONLY call phone numbers that are found on your official credit card statements or that are found on the back of your credit card.

This is a phishing scam and is NOT from American Express. Check their phone numbers on their (American Express) website and the back of your AMEX credit card and you will see that it is different. The prerecorded message is always the same:
"THIS IS AMERICAN EXPRESS CALLING ABOUT A VERY IMPORTANT BUSINESS MATTER, YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER IS URGENTLY NEEDED BY THE END OF THE DAY, PLEASE CALL US AT 1-800-678-0738, AND PLEASE HAVE YOUR AMERICAN EXPRESS ACCOUNT AVAILABLE WHEN YOU CALL, WE CAN BE REACHED 24 HOURS A DAY, THANK YOU."
Some of the phone numbers he/they call(s) from are the following:
(215) 873-3443
(404) 697-3127
(718) 564-3261
(954) 308-5595
(954) 503-1800
These phone numbers seem to be from cell phones and there are many people reporting this scam on various consumer complaint websites. American Express has verified that it is NOT them. (Call American Express using the number on the back of your card and see for yourself.)
This/these scammer(s) is/are relentless and will call 2 to 3 times a week, and usually 3 times during the day & evening, for months at a time.
