Potential phishing?

Crando — Tue, 21 Apr 2020 09:06:21 GMT

news@o2-email.co.uk - is this a legit O2 email? It was in my Spam folder which I found rather strange.

"Hello,

Your O2 Extra is now ready, all that's left to do is activate it. You can do that here. Or via the link in My O2. You've got 28 days to activate it.

If you've got questions or issues go to our FAQs.

Thanks

O2"

My Extra email also went into my spam folder simply because Outlook handled it as potentially harmful because of the link.
