Consumer Narrative
This happened to me in XXXX : https : XXXX? XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX I arrived in XXXX for business. My hotel was in the XXXX district. I went out to a normal looking bar that was on the street by myself. I went in to soak up the atmosphere of XXXX and I was wide awake. This is around XXXX. I paid for two drinks ( by credit card ). Went to the bathroom. A couple of girls said hello to me. This was not a hostess bar. My drink must have been spiked when I went to the bathroom. I then don't remember the next 5 hours or getting home. I have flash backs of being in a room by myself. My American Express personal and corporate credit cards were charged a total of $ XXXX. I was then sick for the next XXXX days. I reported the matter to the police but the XXXX did not show me leaving and other rooms in the venue, did not have XXXX. The understood what had happened to me but could do little about it. I reported the matter to American Express. They were very helpful and empathic but nothing happened. Eventually ( 30 days later ), American Express Corporate issued a refund for the corporate charges but American Express Personal because I had charged my card for two drinks, claimed that they had my express permission. American Express acknowledged the fees went to a construction company in XXXX and that I had no history to suggest I would spend $ XXXX in alcohol by myself ( or with anyone ). American Express own security protocols were not enacted, which should have happened a transaction for {$2500.00} was made. Furthermore American Express are willingly and knowingly supporting and funding organised crime, terrorism and attempted murder ( by being drugged ). They have open another investigation, but this is just American Express buying time. American Express needs to refund this monies, based on precedent alone that American Express XXXX acknowledge that this is fraud. I am XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, as a single income family with a XXXX XXXX, that could have lost his life because of American Express policies. My wife has been sick with stress do to this event, resulting in multiple trips to the Dr . I will have to empty savings for my son education to pay for this and my credit score has been ruined from an excellent score of over XXXX to less than XXXX.
