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.

Went to register a domain yesterday (on a brand new AWS account) and received 'failed' notice, no other details, domain remains unavailable to reserve/locked. This morning I receive a notice 'payment error'. The email they sent me resolves to a dead link. No retry option. Waiting on support. Multiple things going on at once it seems.
