This is definitely NOT sent by us. We're often the target of phishers, as we have customers in less developed countries with a not so good grasp of English.

never trust these kinds of Email with suspicious links.

but if you can not resist not clicking the link or not sure about the link, use online virus scan service like virustotal.com to check the address first (this is not guaranteed safety)

and finally do it in a sandbox and never enter your password and other info if the destinations address in not known by you.
