Confirm Your Email De-activation Request For Email Phishing Scam

The email message below, which claims that a request to deactivate the recipient’s email accounts will be processed shortly, is a phishing scam. The fake email message was created and sent by cyber-criminals to steal the recipients’ email account usernames and passwords. Once cyber-criminals have gotten their victims’ email account credentials, they will hijack their accounts and use them fraudulently. So, recipients of the fake email message should delete it and never attempt to click on the links or follow the instructions in it.

Recipients of the fake email message, who have already followed the instructions in it, should change their email account's password immediately.

It is not recommended to respond to phishing emails because you are telling the cybercriminals that your email address is active.

Now, because they know this, they will continue to send you more malicious emails, therefore, just be careful next time.
