New USPS virus scam email?

I received an email today from - ****@ uspsshippingapis.com

and of course I have a lost USPS package, so I clicked the tracking number link on my iPhone 7 Plus. It took me to a USPS page but said the tracking number couldn’t be found.


Im am idiot, I know I shouldn’t of pressed anything directly in an email and then I remember that virus scam from a couple of years ago and am now freaking out. Should I destroy my phone now? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you didn't provide any information when you went to the site you have nothing to worry about assuming your iPhone is not jailbroken.
