Oh, yeah, that is so bogus.  The link goes to a Google Docs account, do not click.

Delete and forget.

For future reference you can forward the email to abuse@att.net so it can be addressed at the source.

The forum removes anything it recognizes as an e-mail address, so nothing we could recognize made it through such that we can tell you anything.  A picture/screenshot (with any personal information hidden) would work.

From your description of the content, I don't think you have anything to worry about, but just to be sure... post some more information/details/screenshot.
