Suspicious Email Stating "A New Security Update Has Been Released"

Recieved this email on 05/11/2020 @ 2:15pm.  Other than my email being correct, (I removed my email) it did not make sense.  The Red Flag is that the return email appears bogus.  All updates are installed when you open the client to use it. You are told an update exists and should you install it or wait.  I have never recived an email from LogMeIn for an update not can I find any documentation within LogMeIn for it.  I must conclude it is a fishing or trojan horse attack attempt. Anyone else get this?
