Suspicious email from MYOB <myob.donotreply@myob.life>

I have recieved an email "(First Name) has invited you to work online with MYOB AccountRight" from email myob.donotreply@myob.life however I I am not expecting this invitation and I do not recognise the email domain MYOB.life as one used by MYOB.  Apart from that the email looks to be authentic. 

 

The "I accept" hyperlink is copied below (XXXXX section removed for security).  I take it from the link that the email is not genuine and should be deleted.

    Amazing work Hannah. And thank you for reporting it. I get similar emails from spammers almost weekly luckily most of them hit my spam filter before I even see them. Its important to check the sender in every case.
