Just a warning in case you get one of these.

I got an email seemingly from Amazon this morning, saying they'd had an attempted transaction from a different device than the one I normally use.
What made it suspicious to start with was that it was sent to a different email than the one I use for them.

There's a link to connect to with word Amazon, but when I glanced at the senders email address at the top of the screen, it came from Amaozn.co.uk

Go safely,

Anything that is sent to me with a link in it just gets deleted, there seem to be just as many official looking text messages also doing the rounds.

The only exceptions are ones that I’m expecting, even then I scrutinise them.

I wouldn't follow the link to Amazon in the email, it looks like a scam in particular because of the use of a different email address.

I'd log into Amazon in your normal way and go to into your account settings to see if you have any messages from Amazon that way. I suspect you'll have none.
