No phone call, no yellow paper. Just a call from my bank to say 6 fraudelent transactions had been made totaling over $500 whilst my card was WITH ME in my wallet and I hadn't accessed my account for at least 24 hours. I live in Australia and thankfully my bank is refunding the money ASAP but it seems after reading these posts it has been going on for over a year all over the world - why is no one looking into how this is happening and stopping it?
I beat you all! 5 charges of $541.06 in the same day by RWS-Eservices totalling $2,705.30!! AMEX has declined my small charges at Home Depot when I made too many in a day, I don't understand why they would approve these charges from Singapore without at the very least calling me. They even marked them as "foreign spend." They're reversing the charges, but I have no idea how they got my card info. Pretty scary, but that's why I use my AMEX for online purchases and not a debit card. I'm sorry for those of you who got screwed by these scamming pricks.
Holy crap I got SIX charges in one day on my amex from these pricks and how they got my number I do not know. However I got an email last month from Thorlo Socks saying they had been hacked and now it may make sense. I hope Amex is good at resolving this as I am extremely pissed!
Same thing happened to me, they tried to charge Singapore $707 to my AMEX account. Luckily AMEX blocked the transaction and alerted me via SMS whilst I was watching The Avengers. AMEX called me the next day and sent a new card. Apparently this is a common scam.
i checked and i have two fradulant charges on my amex from them. I hate these people how are they getting all the details of every one. I remember using it at dollar tree and a gas station. One of them i guess probably had a card reader installed in them i doubt gas station and i think dollar tree wont do that. I cannot believe this really happens until i heard that from customer services when i called america express. NO one called me but saw charges when i was about to pay my balance of american express card. watch out for rws e services they are fraud company based in singapore and i am going to get them
