I got this email and I do not have an amazon account.

The email it came from was

account.blocked@notification-account.com

The body of the text

A picture of Amazon which does not fill the box and does not say if it's com or co.uk

Dear Customer,

We have blocked your amazon account because our service has detected two unauthorized devices. Our service has protected your account from someone who has access your Amazon account.

How do I unlock my account? <this is in orange>

You must verify your Amazon account and complete the information on the data that was printed on your account when you first registered.

To complete the process, click on the button link below.

Button which takes you to goodness knows where.

The Amazon account will be unlocked automatically, after completing the account verification as soon as possible.

If you do not verify within 48 hours, our service will permanently block your Amazon account.

Thanks again for your visit to Amazon.

First of all, I have done a course on cyber spam

1) Amazon would not say Dear Customer, they would use my name as they would already know it.

2) How to unlock my account "You must verify" - If I did have an account with Amazon, the verification process would already have been completed when I first set up the account.

3) They blocked my account because the service had detected access from two unauthorized devices - but then later says - Thanks for your visit to Amazon? I did not visit Amazon at all.

I call this a scammer and all customers with Amazon need to take note of this.

I received a voice message from someone purporting to be from Amazon security, stating that my credit card info had been used to open an account in a different name and address, and that a $750 purchase triggered a suspicious activity investigation.

When I returned the call, the supposed customer service rep proceeded to guide me through a series of steps to refund the charge by opening an Apple Pay account using my bank debit card. It wasn't until the supposed customer service rep started to give me a name other than my own that I figured out it was a scam and hung up.

To be cautious I cancelled the credit card on record and changed my bank card number.

Then Amazon locked me out of my account for non-payment of charges.

It's been a mess! Amazon has been less than helpful trying to straighten in all out.

I just got one of these emails today. It claimed my account was locked. Of course when I signed in to my account I discovered it was not true. The tip off was the email address was not a amazon address.
