Email - Action Required: Amazon seller account review
Hi,
I have received an email that is either genuine or a very good fake, with the title "Email - Action Required: Amazon seller account review". It wants me to click on a link and answer some questions to arrange a virtual video call to confirm my identity, which I am happy to do, but I would like to confirm that the email is genuine before I input my merchant token etc.
I can't see anything within my seller account to indicate that this email has been sent, and the email also says that "Your Amazon selling account has been deactivated ", but there is no indication of this either, which makes me think the email may be a good scam.
Whenever I have used seller chat (for other issues), the replies that I get have been unhelpful and inaccurate (to be polite), and I see that the help that people get is on here is great, so that is why I am asking here first. Could an Amazon mod please take a look at my account and let me know if this email is genuine?
Also, if any Amazon sellers think that the email sounds genuine, do you know how long I might have before my account is actually deactivated?
Thank you very much

Update - my account was deactivated, so I have had a call with Amazon and there are lots of accounts within my main seller account for different countries and that is the problem. They have the same login details. I had to complete the questions on the link for the video interview, but there were lots of things I need to do after that including taking a screenshot. She talked so fast. I asked her to slow down several times. She said that after the video verification, then we can get the Mexico and USA accounts (which seem to be the issue) closed. I was aware of the Europe accounts, as I used to sell in Europe before Brexit. I have never used the outside of Europe accounts and did not open them.
If anyone has done this before, are there any instructions or a guide available, as I couldn't write down the instructions fast enough. I asked her to email me, but she hasn't. Nightmare!
