It may have been a scam. Did it contain a link for you to sign in somewhere? Check your device list to see if there is a device signed in that you don't recognize. You can remove the device using the steps in the article below. As a precaution, change your password.

From what you say, I assume you did not fall for the scam. But, for future reference, See these security-related documents, especially the first two.
