Account Termination Verification Phishing Scam
Panic sets in. If you don't click on the link and cancel the termination notice everything will go... all your emails, files, and everything associated with your cPanel Account Services but you don't have cPanel Account Services! cPanel is just the control panel interface your hosting account uses. This is a phishing scam and quite a well crafted one...
