If you get a call demanding immediate payment on your account, be suspicious. AMP will never ask for credit card or debit card numbers and only provides automoated courtesy calls to accounts that are already delinquent. If you have any doubts, don’t give out any information.Please hang up and call AMP Customer Service Representatives at 748-3900.
