I'm sure I've posted something like this before but it bears repeating. I just received an email that looks nearly 100% authentic but it's not. A good indicator that the email is not from who it claims is to check the sender's email address but even then it is better to be cautious before clicking any links contained in the email.
If you get an email - especially an urgent one - from a service provider you recognize, like a web hosting provider or domain registrar, be certain it is actually from them. Don't click on links contained within the email unless you are certain it is from them. It is a much better idea to go to the services provider's website, log in, and check to see if the issue really exists.
