I have just spoken to a lovely young man from Amazon who has taken all my details and found my account.
Doesn’t know how or why the email has been changed.
No one has tried to place an order.
No phone number was connected .
They are going to get in touch with me within 24 hours. Then hopefully the problem will be sorted out.
I’m pleased I found out in time …..
I’m guessing as soon as they realised there was no card linked and they would have to pay for the stuff themselves they didn’t bother continuing !

I'm glad Amazon is sorting it out for you. You're lucky you didn't have a debit or credit card attached to your account. I only add money to my Amazon account if I'm going to buy some books or something.
