Email offering replacement box - is it real?

Has anyone received an email saying that VM have identified an issue with your box with recording and to click a link to get a new one? Wondering if it’s real or not… I did click the link if an earlier email that was the same but nothing happened, wondering if it’s spam or not… I have previously had the issue with recording failing and corrupting all my recordings.

The email is from vmteam@virginmedia.co.uk

“As part of our regular checks of your services and equipment, we’ve spotted something on your Virgin TV 360 box that could affect your ability to enjoy recordings.
Your service might still seem fine, but this issue will get worse over time. So, we’d like to send you a replacement – completely free of charge. That way we can keep everything working just as it should be, with no interruptions to your viewing.
All you have to do to get started is click the link below, enter your account details when asked, and we’ll take care of everything. We’ll send you a brand-new TV box with instructions on how to swap it out, and what you need to do with your old kit.”
