No Amazon has not made any such announcement, to begin with. If you visit their original website, amazon.com and amazon.in or even the app you've downloaded, you will find no such offer. Moreover, if you look carefully at the link that is being shared in the message you'll see the URL reads: "d5-amazon.top" which is not an authentic Amazon site. It is nothing but a scam and might result in a loss of money or theft of personal data.
The website collects user personal and professional data along with personal preferences and taste through a survey. At the end of the survey, the user is congratulated on being the winner. However, users never get their gift price. So please do not share or click on the link. And under no circumstances whatsoever, share your personal information.
