What happened: Phishing MetaMask Mail.

Ever since the completion of the Ethereum merge, scammers have been coming up with different tactics to confuse and scam crypto users. I got a mail saying metamask needs to be verify, due to Ethereum merge. Basically it is a mail with a phishing link, never click on this type of mail, because your wallet, computer may get hacked due to this phishing software.

After seeing this mail before clicking on the link I understood that it was actually a trap as I was already aware of this kind of scam. So I took the link and did a virus check and my guess was correct.

Instead of deleting the email, I clicked the button and take me to another website, ask me to provide my private key, but I not do that. Does my metakask fund safe, please?
