This is true.  If you read the fine print on your American Express contract,
you'll see that it says that you are obligated to pay for a charge if you
have expressed "intent to pay".  I'm not sure what intent to pay implies,
but that fact has always concerned me regarding making telephone orders with
a credit or charge card.
