Is this a phishing email? I received this on 9/11 but the due date was for 9/2?

    Smells phishy.  It has the classic poor grammar, misspellings and a suspicious URL

    Also, what's the "security" issue and "unusual activities?"  Updating your account would be a configuration issue...not a security issue.

    Moreover, if you can't log in with your email address, log in with your username (bob@cox.net).

    Good eye!  Delete it.
