What shocks me is that the perp could not answer the personal security key correctly - which was mothers maiden name and AMEX still sent out a replacement card. Who forgets their mothers maiden name - Red Flag Alert!!

I am sure AMEX most likely resorted to asking easier questions such as DOB, place of birth or zip code which would be contained in other forms of ID they would have had access to.

Not sure where the new card is being shipped to as AMEX will not divulge the information but at least it is cancelled.
