You have to go to Settings>Mail>Accounts and you should see your apple id account, maybe another account, and then this sketchy one that looks out of the ordinary. Delete every one but your apple id account and you should see when you click on the others that you can delete the thinthefiel.biz and then it won’t come back again.
