You can display the mail headers of any Google message:
http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=22454

That will verify the IP sender and other information.

Irregardless of the security of your account or veracity of this message, change your password.  Change them often, do not share them between other accounts.

Phishing attempts are usually totally obvious if you look at the full headers
of a message and/or the href= attributes of any links within the HTML portions
of a message.  So:  Take a look at the message's raw source and find out.

(If this *is* phishing, I fully expect to see about 20 mails like this in my
work account tomorrow morning, since whoever's in charge of mail filtering
there seems to miss a lot of stuff....)
