I agree that this is a phishing message. If you can still login to your Amazon account then that is your proof that it is.

That’s a common phishing text that I receive a few times a week. Hit delete and safely ignore.

I just received the following text Message (italics added to set it off from what I’m writing.

Notification : 24567

  

We've must disabled your αmazon αccount, due to unusual activity from your αccount.

I’d ignore this, except that I recently placed an order with Amazon (not yet delivered).  If this were an email, I’d check out the sender’s address, but don’t know how to do the equivalent with a Message.

  

The bad grammar might be a clue, but bad spelling and grammar are rife in American education.

.

Ideas and suggestions?
