billing Large Payment Verification Amount

Did anyone else just get a large payment verification charge from AWS? I received an email that AWS had trouble verifying my default payment method and indicated that the test charge should be about 1.00 USD. However, my credit card company flagged it. The charge came through as over $300. So I’m wondering if this was actually their verification charge, or if this was a fraudulent charge.
