Scam Description
I had logged in to Amazon on a new browser hours before this message. I already get actual texts from Amazon about sign in attempts. It’s obvious to me that these texts are phony because I can just go to my account and see that there’s no problem. The link is also very long and isn’t going to Amazon’s site and the email address isn’t and @amazon.com one.
