I got the same email but from different person who claims that he is from " google management" it has the same code no and the same file no too. So wht I did is I search the web and I found that lots of people sent an email to google enquiring if this is true.
So I copied and pasted the enquiries plus a comments from google site about the way those people are convincing their victims to provide them with more information.

Be aware of these type of email even if you sent them your details do not send more.
