Over the last 2 weeks. I've received about 5 emails. All of the emails confirmed purchases of $0.00 Amazon apps. I haven't downloaded any Amazon apps in many years. Usually, happens on the weekends. The weird thing is, the emails are sent to an email that is unconnected to my active Amazon account.

I'm pretty sure these were bought for a Kindle device. I haven't used a Kindle in many years. I inquired about younger relatives but none of them are at the age where they have the ability to type an email address or use apps for pre teen girls.

Anyway, I contacted Amazon and no one was technical enough to have a conversation. They offered to close the account without explanation. Eventually, they sent me a password reset link and I was able to request an account closure.

The account was empty save the apps and a subscription to a newspaper.

Do you think they just allowed an account to be open without email confirmation? Very weird.
