A simple internet search will verify that Amazon never, ever asks for a screenshot of your bank account. The only people who fall for these ridiculous scams are old people and people with two-digit IQs. I have two Amazon accounts, one of which hasn’t been used in five years, and I have no problem logging into it, and Amazon has never locked it or asked for screenshots of my bank account.

They ask that you redact all bank account numbers and other sensitive information other than the last four of your card on file. I know I know smacks of a scam but no I contacted actual Amazon and checked the interwebs and sure enough this is a thing that happens! I just asked them to cancel my account and have a nice day because I still don't trust it.
