Be wary....I have received the calls from the phone number over the last 3 days though I don't use an AMEX. I called the number back and they ask for my card number, I skipped that and spoke with "rep" and she asked for my social. I then hung up and went to AMEX's website where that number is NOT published. Called the published number, provided them with my info and they informed me an old corporate card was still open but had no activity for well over a year. Scam!

However, it's not good to have PHP Filter module enabled on any production site, for security reasons (http://drupal.org/node/1203886). Even if it's only for admin users, custom block code done in DB is harder to maintain and deploy, so it's advisable to create a simple, short module implementing the Block API to create this custom block (see http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer--hooks--core.php/function/hook_block/6) It is easy.
