I' say it's delete time for that notice.   No way I would trust it.

Why?

It looks legit to me.

He says it's inactive.   I wouldn't  trust and would be sure my anti - virus software is up to date

I get email notices apparently from Google notifying me about security checkup procedures but I wouldn't ever click any links in them. Rather I just clean my browser and open the google admin site directly and check the details of the notifications manually. Same goes for Microsoft accounts.

 

There are just too many unpublished service vulnerabilities being 'fished' via emails or browser javascript code exploits that can run in the background of an open browser page. 

 

One of the security forums I follow recently published an article on an exploit that would establish an email-forward to a baddy just by people clicking the odd-looking Google or Microsoft Office 360 hosted link in an official-looking but fake company email. It included several CEO's having their email account traffic copy/forwarded for several months because they'd clicked the links.

 

Easier to open the admin page manually and verify the notification manually.

Not sure why he was not able to respond to the notification. Perhaps a glitch with the phone.

What he posted apparently was not an email. On android if you have a Google account set up they come as notifications. I recently got one that was only a verification of my registered phone number. Clicked on it and got a sms with code to enter. 

It looks familiar to me. The your devices one is a case of some devices not being used for a long time. When I got the security check email it took me directly to my account page with info about.

I am pretty good at spotting bogus emails since that has been happening for years. Not hard to look at email address that sent it.

I posted a link to the my account page where he can check it out.

The wife and I got the notices over the last 2 days on our 4 gmail accounts. It's all legit...go to your account...look at the security recommendations made by google and make the recommended changes "if you desire"...no requirement to make the changes.
