Sounds a bit like the ebay scam to me - where you are recuited to list items, take payment into your OWN account and pass the money and the buyers details to your employer who say they will send the goods. Of course, no,goods are sent, buyer complains to ebay who reclaim the money from you - and guess what you can't get in touch with your employer, so you are left out of pocket and with a bad ebay reputation.
Ask yourself this - do you shop/sell on Amazon regularly? Is it usually the .com or .co.uk or whatever country you are in website that you use?
Alternatively, contact Amazon - from within your account, don't use any contact emails or weblinks within the email, and ask them.
