i solved my issue. I followed everyones advice and nothing worked but then I got a brand new device and guess what it took me to the fake website. Hmmmm can't be the device right? So I factory defaulted my router! Whala!! I did notice that ALL of my devices while on my home network took me to the fake Amazon site but when connected to a different network everything was normal. Do some simple test. If other devices go to the fake website while on your network or if your device only does it while connected to your network and not other networks then factory default your router.

If the pop-up reloads, force quit Safari (command - option/alt - esc) and reopen with the shift key held down. If that doesn't work, disconnect from the Internet, go to Safari/History and delete the website. Quit and reopen with the shift key held down. Then reconnect to the Internet.
