they said that my wife applied for am amex and since this is my wife's first card we need to send a copy of her SS card, and driver's license and utility bill. They said that all this is because she doesn't have a credit report. this seams fishy to me
This is a scam. They called us and pretended to be Bank of America.
DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION. DO NOT EVEN CONFIRM YOUR NAME OR ADDRESS. Bank of America is aware of this scam as is Wachovia and AMEX.
207-338-7799 w/ Caller ID as Card Services will not stop phoning! If this is a confirmed scam, why are they allowed to maintain this telephone number by their service provider?
Why would Bank of America, Wachovia and AMEX not take security actions to put a stop to this scam?
