They said I got a American Express card and tried to buy guns.
I got a call from this number as well as the number 800-435-9724, saying that it was from American Express and told me that I had multiple orders online for firearms. Totally scam!

Got a call asking me if I charged $1400. and I did not. Showed American Express on the caller ID. I asked him to give me the last 4 digits of the card that was charged, and he said that he can only give me the first 4 digits. EVERYBODY has those first 4 digits on their cards! I guess he thought that I was stupid. I then called AMEX from the phone number on the back of my card to make sure that there was no charge for $1400. There was not. What is highly unusual about this scam is the phone number is a legit phone number of AMEX. God knows how they pulled that one off. But beware!
