Ouch! Safe practices say question legitimacy BEFORE clicking links. I would log into your My Verizon account and check password recovery methods and maybe change your password just in case a hacker has gotten access to your account.
There are other threads asking similar questions about texts/emails purportedly from Verizon.
Looking up that domain in the link you posted using https://whois.com finds that it is not registered.
I would also want to make sure something is not a scam, and we can certainly assist. That is definitely not us, and it is a scam to try to get your login information. We recommend changing your login information as soon as possible, as when you used it to login, it provided them with that information. Please be aware we will only link you to our own website at: www.verizon.com, or www.verizonwireless.com.
