You can start deleting the sms right away when you see amzn.com. Check your emails from Amazon, and see if they ever abbreviate their links. They don't. Only scammers do.Though the number checks out. Chat with Amazon, see if they can help figure out why you would get a refund when you didn't return. The one thing I could think of is, they didn't apply the bundle price correctly - check the order and see if they forgot to discount something. I looked in my phone, and the SMS I get are of this kind for refunds:

Refund Issued: $XX.xx for bla bla bla.., available now in your Amazon account. Details amzn.com/orders.

But I have never receiced a pending refund, or confirmation that they received an item. This number is strictly for "refund issued" and "otp codes" nothing else.

I second that as it is out of character from that number.
