Unusual malware activiites

I recently received a email "proclaiming" to be from "Cox Tech Service" with a link requesting me to CLICK ON A LINK to verify my the validity of my account. Can you confirm this this email was NOT from you. I am currently setting up a new machine and this may be what promoted your email IF it was indeed from your department.

Follow your instinct.  If it's questionable, ignore and delete it.  The scammer is phishing for your personal information.  If you're receiving e-mail, your account is good.

Hello,

I am not able to confirm that this is a phishing email without seeing it. However, it does sound suspicious to me. You can always forward these types of emails to phishingreport@cox.com and we will be more than happy to research this for you.

Thanks,
