Exclamation AMEX scam e-mail

Mods, I trust you will move this if you feel there is a better location.

But, since many here have AMEX cards, I thought I would start here.

Just received a scam e-mail, purportedly from AMEX. Very professionally done. Urging me to set up a security key for my AMEX account.

Subject line "Important: Personal Security Key"

However, hovering my cursor over the links in the e-mail readily clarified that this did not come from AMEX. I am confident that AMEX is not e-mailing me from Germany, and that AMEX does not include expletives in its weblinks.

So... heads up.
