It was cleverly made to look authentic by capturing the source code and images of the real Google login screen.
I got the same notice, which to me was highly suspect, so I viewed All Headers and it appeared to originate from www.speakeasy.net and mx.google.com (Mexico?). As far as I'm concerned that notice is bogus, so I logged in on the Google web site and marked it there as Spam so Google would hopefully catch wind of it (at least hope their Spam filter is downstream of the stench coming off of that junk mail).
