I too have 22 resources left, which I cannot seem to remove after painstakingly going through all the various regions, which I'm sure I created anything in or used...

I also get many FraudDetector messages when I do a search.

I keep getting this email immediately after opening a new aws account

AWS Unified Registration Cancellation Confirmation Greetings from Amazon Web Services,

This e-mail confirms that your Amazon Web Services account has been closed.

If your AWS account was closed after the first day of any month you may still receive another bill. Please see the Billing & Cost Management Console for details about any remaining charges applicable to the services you have used. You may also download any past billing statement or tax documents in the Billing & Cost Management Console.......

I did not initiate closing of my account, i used a new email address. I sent the verification documents as required too.

Why do i keep getting this, this is my 3rd new email anf all have been closed in this way.
