Is this email a scam

Got an email from ****@ syjhsj388.x900-amazon.com saying I would be charged $29.99 for Marvel. And to click on a link if problem. I checked my account and see no such charge. Is this a scam

Scams (e-mail, text messages, and phone calls) are getting very good at closely imitating true Apple communications. Always be cautious. Here are some guidelines:


Identifying legitimate emails from the iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/HT201679


Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - https://support.apple.com/HT204759


If you are uncertain about a message and a resource provided in that message, do not click on any links. Try to independently verify the resource by going to a support page on apple.com and use that to contact Apple or to verify the service the message is telling you to use. In this case the email purports to come from amazon.com so I don't know that this would have anything to do with Apple anyway.


Forward email attempts as an attachment (in MacOS Mail use the paperclip icon) to: reportphishing@apple.com then delete it.
