Got this in an email a couple of days ago:

Quote

I figured I'd leave it in there in case someone wanted to investigate further.  I'll leave the url but remove the hyperlink

Calm your tits, it isn't hyper-linked and it's clear that it's a phishing link. You'd have to manually copy and paste the URL to check it.
