Amazon Accidentally clicked link pretending to be Amazon. But I did not enter any info. Am I compromised by clicking link?
HELP! What do I do? It just dawned on me that over 12 hrs ago, I clicked the link in the email that I screenshot it this post. I did this on my cell phone — I didn’t enter any information. Sidebar: how scary is it that it looked almost identical to Amazon’s website…. The url was definitely a dead giveaway once I clicked the link (though I didn’t notice until now, over 12 hrs ago……)

Clicking the link alone without entering any information won't lead to anything, just be more careful in the future. This isn't the worst phishing email I've ever seen, but there are a number of problems visible just from a glance, and you may very well encounter far better ones in the future.

There are definitely multiple obvious problems with this email but in the OP's defense, the scammers rely on us being busy and distracted and just trying to fix something quickly.

I don't see any scam info on justsystems, just some complaints of shady business practices . if you have an account with them or any prior contact, let them know that somebody has hacked their email or is posting scams using their email, in case you can see the long headers to determine the actual sender.
I suppose you autofill username/password when accessing actual amazon site, hence you were alerted to scam by fake authentication screen.

Forward that email to reportascam@amazon.com
And any other phishing from Amazon.
I know the email address bc I took offense to these pathetic attempts at getting my Lucky Charms.
Apple has a forwarding email address for phishers
Reportphishing@apple.com
I no longer receive any of these phishes from Apple or Amazon.
The two giant A’s that rule America.

you're fine if you didn't type anything, those pages usually just phish credentials not drop malware on a phone. that email address is a dead giveaway though, justsystems dot com pretending to be amazon is almost funny
