That isn't a Cox link. You need to copy and paste the actual email that you received.

Is this a copy-and-paste of the email? Did you have to "clean it up" in the subject of your post? The first sign it's fake is the horrendous grammar.
Don't click the link. If you hover your cursor over the link and look at its URL in the lower-right of your browser, it's not a Cox domain.

Look at the sender email address.
Next, hover the mouse cursor over the link, do NOT click on it. If the link is not the Cox web site, forward the email as an attachment to "Phishingreport@cox.net"

If all else fails, check if your Cox account is actually locked by logging in via a bookmark or enter cox.com in the address bar.
