In July I was robbed of $10,000.00 in Amex Travelers cheques along with numerous valuable items (camera, 2 PDA smartphone, 1 Nokia cell phone, Apple Ipod etc).. Immediately I contacted my friend in the USA an advised him to call Amex and advise them to cancel the checks.
Upon my return in October I contacted Amex and although the numerous amounts of documents requested by Amex was overwhelming I furnished each and every one within 1/2 hour of the request. Here is an example of some of the documents requested
1) Receipts of all TC's stolen
2) Copy of all pages of passport—my passport was amended with addit pgs sent approx 24 pgs
3) Bank statement showing withdrawl of cash from bank acct to buy the cheques
4) Drivers License
5) Receipt of stores where I bought items in Africa
6) Legal document showing what I was doing in Africa (sent 2)
7) 2 Business References
8) Phone numbers to the cell phones that were stolen
9) Police report requested (gave them phone# to station where report was made
10) Airline tickets showing travel to and from Africa
These are a few of the documents requested and forwarded combined with numerous phone interviews in which probing and private questions were asked of me to answer.
To date I have called American Express to inquire the status of my claim and I am ignored. This is obviously a scam that needs to be exposed quickly. I decided to do an internet search to see if this is a SCAM. And I am shocked to learn that many persons have fallen victim to the unethical behaviour of American Express..
Please I am ready to sweat and work hard to bring this to National/International attention before others are abused and robbed. What I am hoping for is that all other claimants will read my report and many others like mine and a future CLASS ACTION lawsuit will be commenced.
