"Its now about that. Its the fact that their list of credit cards at MBNA was compromised. This isn't one person getting his card stolen, this is a whole list of various people who use that credit card company."
Uhmm . . . do you care to list those "various" people you speak of? I haven't seen sufficient number of people filing complaints/grievances to constitute the original poster's claims. I do appreciate his interest in making sure no one else falls a victim, but I do not in all honesty think it merits a stay on the top in hot deals; or perhaps this should even be moved to the Off Topic zone.
I definitely have to agree with Bob61 on this. I just got scammed on my American Express Blue student card. My account just got compromised with strange charge from Switzerland, an area I have never transacted before. It also had this "Payment Solutions" title. This happened just about two weeks ago. I contacted American Express to find out what was going on. I was told they had no info (i.e., no phone number, address) about this supposed company that charged my account and they could do nothing for me at the moment. I was told I had to wait until my billing cycle period ended and then I could dispute it. This was a charge for $14+ on a card I hadn't used for a long time now.
So, I'm sure, like Bob61 and I, other individuals have fallen victims of scam with their American Express cards, so would that constitute a notice for every incident? Geez, I'm starting to think a lot of AE customers' accounts were compromised. I understand in this case the original poster had reason to believe this was not an isolated case; but from the number of and contents of the responses so far, it seems to me the original poster may have been misinformed or may be mistaken about what actually took place. Again, I am thankful for the notice from ChopOmatic, and I do not think the original poster is responsible for the decision to keep this up. The mods are responsible for it, and I would hope they make the right decision to release it at this point.
