Are all amex card fraud proof?

[Alice]

Hi everyone,
I keep seeing people say that American Express has top-tier security, but I’m curious — are all Amex cards fraud proof in reality, or is that just hype? If anyone has dealt with fraud on an Amex card, how did they handle it? I’m trying to figure out how secure they really are before I apply.

Amex‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ cards are not completely fraud-proof; however, they offer various security measures such as immediate notifications, sophisticated detection mechanisms, and a zero-liability policy which implies that in the unfortunate case of fraud, the victim (you) will not be held responsible, provided that the incident is reported ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌promptly.

Although there is no card that is totally "fraud-proof," American Express offers a Fraud Protection Guarantee. As long as you take reasonable precautions to safeguard your account and promptly report any suspicious activity, you are generally not liable for unauthorized charges.

No, American Express cards aren't really "fraud-proof." When you report illegal charges as soon as possible and safeguard your information, they do provide robust fraud protection and a zero-liability guarantee, which means you typically won't have to pay for fraud you didn't commit. However, appropriate security measures are still required because no card can completely prevent fraud.

No -Amex cards are not totally fraud-proof. American Express offers high security such as monitoring of frauds, SafeKey authentication and guarantee on Fraud Protection in order that you would not be held accountable on any fraudulent charges provided you report them early and secure your information. However, it is still possible to commit fraud, particularly with traps, counterfeits or a lack of personal security.

No — American Express cards aren’t completely fraud-proof, but they offer strong fraud protection. If unauthorized charges occur, Amex typically investigates and credits you back, so you aren’t held responsible. However, you still need to monitor activity and report suspicious charges promptly to be protected.

No, not every American express card is totally fraud-resistant. Although Amex has powerful security controls, such as fraud warnings and zero-liability insurance, even cardholders become a victim of a scam or dubious transactions.

American Express is said to have high-quality fraud detection and a robust customer protection system, although it cannot be said that this applies to all credit cards, Amex included. They are keeping a close check on transactions and they tend to fix the fraud fast enough but the users are still supposed to be mindful of their statements to spot fraudulent transactions and report them immediately.
