A link was provided that led to amazon website, but I did not click on it as I was afraid that it may be someone attempting to phish! I have received my recent bank statement and all seems well. I then went on to AMAZON website and was able to sign in. Has anyone else received an email like this and if so it is genuine? Or do you think I was a target of phishing!

I then went on to AMAZON website and was able to sign in which is strange considering AMAZON said my account would be suspended if I do not verify my details. Has anyone else received an email like this and if so it is genuine? Or do you think I was a target of phishing!

Don't click on the link, just go to Amazon by yourself using a search engine. It could be someone trying to scam you. Look at all your details on Amazon and see if they match your correct details. Send Amazon an email seeing if they actually do want a second confirmation.

I would keep a copy of the email but don't do anything with it. Login to your Amazon account, check over your details and update your password. Make a note of how to contact Amazon and then if they do shut down your account you can contact them. Sounds like a fraud email to me so I wouldn't worry.

Well i had the same information sent to me regarding the same problem. I also did not reply, however i did contact amazon and it turns out that they did sent the e-mail regarding some unusual activity on my account. I have since cancelled my account with them.
