Did anyone else (regular customers, that is) get an email from Amazon with a request to verify their identify on Kindle Direct Publishing? I got the following email this evening:
(Bolded text is linked)
But I'm neither an author or publisher, and I've never even gone near KDP. I don't think it's a scam, but why in the world would Amazon send this to me :blink: (Until I know more, I'm not clicking on anything :p)
(I may have put this in the wrong subforum; moderators, please help if that's the case. Thanks!)

Hi [my name as on my account], To promote safety and trust across KDP, we’re asking authors and publishers to verify their identity. Please log into KDP and submit a valid government-issued ID. We recommend completing this action via mobile device for easier use. Once we verify your identity, you can resume creating a book and access our publishing features. For any questions, you can visit our Help Center or contact us. Verify your identity Best regards, Kindle Direct Publishing |
