Is this genuine?
Just had this 4 times

Amazon takes your account security very seriously. Amazon will never email you and ask you to disclose or verify your Amazon password, credit card, or banking account number. If you receive a suspicious email with a link to update your account information, do not click on the link—instead, report the email to Amazon for investigation.
We hope to see you again soon.

Just had this emailed 4 times, the Amazon email address looks genuine, account-update@amazon.com
Any ideas? We don’t have any code sent via email usually

That’s the text reply for a 2-way verification. Guess someone has your userid and password and has tried to log on 4 times.

We have had 3 of these this morning! I always get codes sent to my phone, so not sure why these have come through on email!

Yep, we have had a few. Very strange with no links in the email at all. So defiitely not scamming / phishing. Just an automated attempt to log in with random passwords I guess

Had these for both our UK and US accounts.

I’ve had this three times too. Which Amazon email address do we forward them to for reporting?

I had six of these emails late last night, all sent within one minute.
It’s presumably some sort of scam, but I’m not sure what they are trying to achieve.
The email finishes with the following:

The source of the message appears to be ‘amazonses-dot-com’ which is an Amazon domain, but fequently used by spammers, I believe.
Which is kind of ironic…
