Fake email telling me to transfer to yahoo email looks fake

I have received many emails multiple times a day over the past month telling me to press the button to get started.  The email looks like a picture of a typed piece of paper.  I know Comcast’s is moving to yahoo mail, but this email looks fake, how do I know if it is real and I should proceed with the transfer at this time?
