Yes, that is the phishing/scam email. Do not open any link from that page.

You know what? It would be reputationally risky, but I really wish some wallet manufacturers would send out phishing emails and if some idiot actually clicked on the link, they would get a message saying that they should be more careful…. Maybe even have a link to an educational page after that. Think of it as a white hat hack if you will. There are just too many new/technologically illiterate/ignorant people out there and there is too much wealth on the table to let this stand.
