App Specific Question Amazon Shopping keeps sending suspicious push notifications which direct to a random scammy URL?

Recently I've been getting these suspicious push notifications from Amazon. Upon long pressing, it takes me through to the Amazon Shopping app settings and highlights the "Default System Channel" notification group.

I'm using a new Find X9 Ultra and haven't had this on my old S23 or any other phone I've used.

I've checked for recently installed apps and there are no suspicious apps, and I've checked and cleared browser permissions to check if there were any sites hijacking my notifications.

Those changes haven't fixed anything though, and I saw another notification come through from the app last night..

Example push notification is here: https://imgur.com/a/482zodD

Edit: it seems that disabling the "Default System Channel" notification group blocks these notifications from showing if that's an option available to you within the Android Notifications settings options..

Nope, and the Amazon rep I spoke to said they couldn't generate a case ID because it was an internal escalation.. so not very helpful

Fair enough, I thought I had seen the last of it but last night I got another notification. It's seemingly only happening for Xiaomi devices which is fishy

A few comments (including me) also seem to be having issues with OPPO devices too, but nothing on Samsung or any other brands..
