Fraudulent Account Verification phone call from Amazon???
Anyone experienced a phone call from Amazon saying that there was a suspicious activity and urgent action needed for verification ?
Had a call today saying that there was some suspicious login attempts on my account and so I need to urgently follow the instructions on text message sent by them otherwise they will terminate my seller account... I ended call, haven't provided that person any details. Then I've checked my account asking amazon Account Health Assurance to call me directly and was told that nothing is going on that is probably was a scam to try to get my personal data or something else...
Strange thing...

You were right to end the call. It had all the hallmarks of a serious scam which many people have fallen victim of.

That is the time to hang up, if you haven't already.
They do. Frequently.
This is easily available to anybody. There is nothing secret about it.
Why would Amazon want your phone number when they have it already?
Well done, both of you. We all need to stay alert at all times and keep abreast of new scamming techniques and methods.

Hello @Seller_Qrqi3Gr1D0qyYand @Seller_jGVxVIjqaXgJJ,
Thank you for reporting this on the Forum!
Will check both of your cases with Account Health team.
In the meantime, if you receive any suspicious email please refer to this guidance: Identifying false (spoofed) emails
Kind regards,
