Got this in my email yesterday, supposedly from Amex, telling me they've cancelled my merchant account...

I DO have an Amex merchant account, and this email looks fairly legit. Only obvious problems with it, is my account doesn't end in 7774, and I'm not named in the main email. Check the bottom of the pic, it's the web address that comes when hovering over the "LOG IN" button, and it's an AMEX address. Every link on the page appears to be a geniune AMEX address. Whether the links actually GO to those addresses I have no idea because I haven't tried. I'm thinking of pulling the ethernet cable from the computer and seeing if the links actually try to open AMEX web pages, but thought I'd post up first, see if anyone else has gotten one of these. This the first email I've considered bogus that has 'good' web link addresses...

Just logged into my AMEX merchant account (first time in a long time), and all is well.

I don't hate much of anything, but I got no love for hackers... orelse.gif
