if already has a amex and its registered at the same address i had is he at risk? what should he do?

I don't think that alone would be an F/R risk, but I'm not sure.

Yes, AMEX is known for targeting other people at the same address for an F/R.
YMMV.

I wonder if having a online savings account with Amex would help avoid FR since they can see you have money to back up the purchases.

Sent the form.

They are closing my account bec. I can't provide them with the social
security cards of the additional card holders on my account.

And by the way, this is my second FR. I just had an FR about 2 months ago.

Can't you just remove the AU's?

I did that, but since the AU's were there when they started the FR, they required that
information even though their cards were closed. On a positive note though, they are
allowing me the option to close the account myself rather than having them close it.

They're F/Ring your AUs? Isn't it all about establishing your ability to pay?
