This was a phishing trick I believe. You did the right thing by NOT clicking on it. If you would have clicked on the link your account could have possibly been stolen. From my understanding since you did not, your account should be fine.

For future references never click on suspicious looking links, especially if they're from someone you do not know.

Best Wishes!
