I haven't had issues with logging into Prime Video before, but now when I visit www.primevideo.com I get taken to this address:

 

https://www.primevideo.com/offers/nonprimehomepage/ref=dv_web_force_root

 

I get redirected to a sign in page (Amazon Japan for some reason), then get prompts for my email address and Amazon password and I receive an email with the message below (I have obscured a couple of details):

 

When I try to login to Amazon UK directly, which is where I have shopped before, I get the same process along with a request for my 3 digit security code for the card associated with my payments. I have not provided thos. Same process using Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. I don't use a VPN.

 

Any help would be very appreciated.

 

Thanks, KJ

Interesting. I just tried login to Prime Video. I did get the Amazon Japan (that happened before) but after login I was presented with the correct Prime Video website. Nothing about security.

 

I'd say your account needs some additional verification. Have you enter the credit card digits as asked?

No I haven't - concerned that this is some kind of scam.

 

 

 

It's weird, I get asked for that CVV number when attempting to login to Prime on my home laptop. When I tried on my work computer it didn't and I was able to login successfully.

If it's the Amazon domain, after you login, I wouldn't think it is a scam.

Isn't it a red flag that I get an email message after my attempted login that someone is trying to remove my mobile phone number from my account?

You are using the Amazon website. I don't think they have been compromised. 

 

It's like my Cloudflare account. Last week, I cancelled a service, and they emailed me about something else.

 

Things like this happen.

 

If you were using a different website and were asked to enter your Amazon login, then I'd be suspicious.
