"Seller Account is Under Review" email - is this a scam?
I have just received an email with heading as above purporting to come from Amazon Services but it doesn’t feel/look genuine. For one thing it is addressed to Dear Customer and has none of the usual bumf at the bottom about Amazon. There is a button marked Continue which I am supposed to click to ’ confirm and verify your account information’ and this at the bottom:
Note: If you don’t resolve this matter immediately your account can be suspended anytime until verification is made.
Has anyone else had this?

It’s a scam. Report it to stop-spoofing@amazon.co.uk and delete.
Account review messages appear in the Seller Central with a red flag and don’t use a wording like this:

probably thousands of sellers, its a scam. Only respond to messages and notifications which appear on your account Seller Central page.
