The link goes to a phishing website (a fake American Express website) that steals online account credentials when visitors attempt to sign into it. American Express cardholders are asked never to click on a link in an email message to access to their accounts. They should instead, go directly to American Express website (www.americanexpress.com) and sign into their accounts from there. If there is something wrong or there is something that they need to with their accounts or cards, they will be notified after signing in.The "American Express Security Concern for your Profile" Phishing ScamFrom: American Express [mailto:AmericanExpress@aemail.com]Sent: Friday, October 19, 2018 9:37 AMTo: americanexpress@welcome.aexp.comSubject: REMINDER- We've issued a security concern for your profileWe've issued a notification.AmExpress logoHello, CARDMEMBERPlatinum Card®001AmExpress LockService shadowScoring ReportWe are pleased to inform you on a timely security report for your American Express(R) profile.
