Recently I had applied for a credit card from American Express (Hyderabad), they had approved me and also had assigned a credit card number to my account. Few days later as I had not received any response I called customer service and they said that the application was on HOLD. Later that week I received a call from an unknown number and a American Express rep had asked me to make a Rupees 5000 deposit in a western Union account for American express, he claimed when I make this payment it will go towards my annual fee.
I told him I will make a payment with check or online transfer towards my credit card number but he insisted on a western union payment, when I denied he said my application will not be processed and cancelled. And it was cancelled. Does anyone here have any idea on this? when I call customer service they say they tried reaching me but could not. I take this as a scam from one of them employees. I have a perfect CIBIL
score.
My salary is about 10 Lakh, I have other cards, there is no reason to reject me. Fellow citizens, please advise on how I should report this?
