phishing/virus maybe???? HELP

[WambleCropped]

So i got this email from gcr-noreply@google.com. It was about reviewing a newegg as a website. when I clicked to review my email refreshed and reloaded and the email was not in my main inbox (maybe i just couldnt find it idk.) but i searched for the email in my inbox and found it. I clicked on the link again and it brought me to this site DO NOT CLICK THE LINK 

https://www.google.com/shopping/ratings/survey?context=AJgVhVdsNlj7A0I5bIPa2PmiRWK1smZ8PefJtWzXIUhdDzz9cWUcfvaN3sOT9wn_Yt6yV1zqyVyF7CT6btH2XJtbpwWiw4tKAsZisnYJ3R8gzNynlh8X6lFK4oEa4Jc2YCQNuqGB3iLCezPGEZY3nHmgQpUV0AvE8w%3D%3D&rating=3

does that link and email look legit and i am just over reacting or should i be worried and do something about a possible malware/and other baddies

 

Thanks in advance

Judging by the email adress and the link, it sounds like a review "scam" where you rate something for someone. You don't really get scammed but you provide fake ratings w/o knowing it. Search for "gcr noreply google" already returns a lot of results from google directly about scams

You could always try a McAfee free trial and scan your pc just to be safe

A browser refreshing is, in general, not good or bad, but rather common, especially when it comes to large sites like google. Who knows how many redirects there are for old links they still distribute, which just redirect you to the latest "version" of a certain website. If it does redirect you to completely different website than the original one though, then I'd start looking into it more though

With Spam or unknown messages always check the e-mail header. Also check the sender's name. Unless you are absolutely sure you know the sender, do not open that message and do not click any links. If you want to rate a product or service you can do that directly without needing to click a link. More often than not such a link will either steal your information or get some nasty malware, ransomware or trojans installed.

no when the refresh happened my email reloaded and I could not find the email sent. I was only able to find it after searching in my inbox. The refresh happened the moment i clicked the link

If you can give me the raw message, we can check the e-mail headers to see if it really comes from google.

Using google(gmail) as an example. You can get the raw message by clicking on the triple-dot menu and going to the "original message"

 

Which looks like this:

if the fact that i forwarded changes anything plz tell me how to show it in outlook.

[Fried.Bacon]

@LucidLegends bump, it will change it. Since the sender is now your office365/outlook.
And oh, appreciate it if you can put it on a notepad instead XD

There's also a triple-dot option on OWA. Choose 'View Message Details'

@Fried.Bacon here it is

i mean whats weird about the whole thing is that "google" has my outlook which is really weird. But, they have a link to google'snd services and they have an option to unsubsribe.

@Fried.Bacon It also says my broswer is being managed by my organization dont think that was there before

Well based on the SPF, it looks like it indeed comes from google:

 

 

Also the URL you provided is a legitimate one. So in terms of e-mail it all looks good.

Do you have a newegg account under your outlook e-mail address?
If you have no knowledge of a NewEgg account, can you attempt to register a NewEgg account using your outlook e-mail. This is just to see if it's used or not used.

[Fried.Bacon]

It also looks like NewEgg does use/integrate Google Customer Reviews(GCR). Yeah, you're fine. dont worry bout it.
