Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) The email looks pretty fake. I'm getting a lot of Amazon BS in text messages on my phone. Verify against your real account and see what's going on. I'm quite curious where the link goes, but it's going to be a BS website, so click at your own risk.

Currently, because of the spam issue, I have my phone set so any text messages I get from an unknown number don't show a notification or badge icon, so most of the time I don't even know I have them. I just see them when I go to respond to a text message from someone I do know lol. Same goes with phone calls. Notifications are turned off, and my phone automatically rejects unknown numbers and sends them to voicemail. It has drawbacks, but it's the only way I can really deal with spam without changing my number, and even then, changing my number isn't guaranteed to fix that issue.
