American Express sent me an email recently which immediately got my attention. The subject line read: Fraud Protection Alert. The email included a date, a place–Saks; an amount–710 USD; and finally, the notice: Not Approved.
Yes, they were right, this was a case of fraud.
I’m always amazed at how good American Express is at knowing what I might buy and what I certainly wouldn’t. Since I travel randomly around the world, often to out-of-the-way places where I buy odd things, this feat is particularly amazing.
