Mail.com - threatened account deletion

RetSol

I have an email account with Mail.com and have received a no-reply email threatening to delete my account next week if I do not "update" my account by following a link. 

I suspect that this may be spam but it is a good attempt, if so. 

Has anyone else had this happen with Mail. com?

Phew. I did well to spot it. It was convincing.
