suspicious email

I received the following email in my Cox email.  My account is not locked so I assume it is a fake.

If it's a fake email, it could have malicious intent.  You just posted a link that could be malware.   You should delete the link.

I suspected that was the case.  Thanks for verifying.

I didn't verify anything.  I'm saying you posted a link from an email you don't trust.  Some other Forum member could click it and potentially get malware.  That's why I said you should delete the link... from your post.

Perhaps a moderator can delete it.  The URL isn't the text you see but its embedded redirecting URL.  If you hover your cursor over it, you'll see in the lower-left of your browser.
