This number is listed on the Experian website. When called, the ID displays "Real Estate Latino" and asks for my full social security number. I hung up.

This is a legit number. I received a text from Amex reporting fraud and called this number back. Then I called Amex's number on my credit card to confirm. Do not ignore this number but always feel free to call Amex directly to confirm.
I have gotten 3 calls so far from this number. The interesting thing about this call is that it is for my ex husband that I divorced 26 years ago, and haven’t had contact with since. Nevermind that he lives in a different state than I do! I called the phone number on the back of my American Express card and they said they would always personally call customers that had fraud issues. They never leave automated calls, texts or emails in these cases. I think what is going on is criminals are using a valid fraud department number for American Express to front their scam call. I know I’m not alone when I say I don’t answer my cell phone unless I’m expecting a call because of all the calls I get from people looking to phish or scam, fronting their call with someone else’s valid phone number. I’ve even gotten calls from my own number. It boils down to the fact that we live in a world full of people who have no interest or initiative to get a job and actually honestly earn a living, but would rather steal from those that do.
Received text from this number asserting that there could have been a fraudulent charge on my Amex card and to call the number. However, this is not the customer service number on my card.
