The sure fire way to tell if it's phishing, is if they ask you to click on a link in the email. I don't see this. So nothing to worry about. Never, ever click on a link in an email to access any accounts.

Log into your usual google admin and have a look..

Maybe Google (or Pib) is playing the long con

...you know, getting you used to receiving the odd random infrequent notification of nothing.

They're testing you.
