I was in Ecuador and using my Amex in a department store. It was declined as potential fraud, so the store manager called Amex and I authorized it. No problem. Then when I got my statement there was a charge ON MY CARD for $75 from AT&T for the two phone calls to this number, the Amex international "call collect" number. How it got on my card I have no idea, unless the store manager (my card in his hand) somehow charged the call to my card. I have disputed it with Amex, we'll see how it turns out.
