This type of fraud involves a Card being stolen in transit, once it has been mailed out. At particular risk for this type of fraud are properties with communal letterboxes, such as flats and student halls of residence.

Safety Tips

• Check your Card Account Statements as soon as they arrive and be aware of the expiry date of your Card(s) so you know when a new Card is due to arrive.
• Notify your Card Company of any change of address immediately.
• Keep track of your billing cycle – if your Card Account Statement doesn’t arrive when expected, please contact American Express.
• Arrange for mail suspension when you go on holiday or arrange for someone you trust to take care of it.
