Is this a scam designed to look like Amazon, or is it legit?
I keep getting a call from Los Angeles, 213-737-8771
The guy said he was calling to convert my account into a business account.... although it is already a business account.
He sent me an email to my email address that is registered with Amazon. The email address he sent from is marvicnm@amazon.com which seems legit (but might not go to anyone actually at Amazon).
Here is the body of the email:

I would advise to stay away. No clicks. No reply. You can open a business buying account without help from anyone. And it doesn't cost anything.
It would be nice to get an opinion from a moderator regarding this contact.

Hello there @Seller_ctlHhuYQK8UHO
My name is CR and wanted to hop in here. I actually reached out the the author of the email you provided above and can confirm this is a legitimate outreach. This is related to converting your regular selling account into a business account.
You can feel confident in responding should you want to pursue further, or feel free to disregard.
