I received the following message. Was this really from Cox?

It's poorly written and confusing, which are signs of malice from another country.
First, it lists 4 different actions to take: contact us, action required, update and download.
Second, what's the status of the account? Is it unprotected, about to expire, to be terminated or requires an update?
Third, why would you need to download an attachment to update your account? Why not just logon and update.
This is a poor attempt to infect your computer/network with a malevolent attachment as well as collect your personal/account information.
Good call to question it.
