Discontinuing Verizon.net

Not sure where to post this, but I received this email supposedly from one of the news websites I visit that Verizon was discontinuing email support and I should click on a link to update my account.  Message looks real and has all the logos, etc., too.   Funny thing is I don't use a Verizon email address for that site.  Looks like another sophisticated phishing scam to me.  Any one else seen this?

Verizon transferred their e-mail service to AOL in Feb.:

Verizon Move to AOL Mail - FAQs - AOL Help

It could be a phishing e-mail though, in which case you may want to forward it to phishing@verizonwireless.com
