While awaiting in the airport, I heard a woman talking on the phone. At first she was laughing about a website with the American Express logo and how her 'ex' had the audacity to put the logo on his internet website. What she said next alarmed me! She said that he had scammed American Express out of thousands and thousands of dollars by making fake American Express cards.
I was quite shocked by her statement and I wanted to know more. Once she finished her conversation, I quickly smiled at her to grab her attention. We began talking and I questioned her about her conversation.
She told me the owner of the wristband company in Houston, Texas had been sentenced to prison for credit card abuse/fraud and drugs too. I didn't understand why she thought the American Express logo was humorous? She went to a wristband website and showed me the logo had been placed on this criminals website. I didn't share the humor.
She did tell me that American Express would not allow him to do this, but that his partners had no criminal history and that is how his business was able to conduct business.
