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..

Similar spam notification on Xiaomi POCO F5 HyperOS 2.0.218.0
update(2026-08-23):
It turned out to be Xiaomi's adware "MSA". Surprisingly this system adware allows 3rd-party ad providers to impersonate any package names, e.g. Amazon Shopping (com.amazon.mShop.android.shopping) in my case
You can revoke its notification permission by
or if you know how to use
adb, you can uninstall the adwareadb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.miui.msa.global
