Therefore, recipients of the phishing email message should delete it and not follow the instructions into it.

Hello,
In reviewing your account, we found out that we need more information from you before we can process your transaction. Did you change/update your billing address. If you did please confirm this action now.

We make sure no one is getting into your account without your knowledge.

Recipients of the fake or phishing email message should change their email account password immediately, before it is hijacked and used fraudulently by cybercriminals, and should check their accounts for any discrepancies.
