Thank you.
Thank you.
Every single person on earth has had their passwords scraped as of last year. This information is semi-public, in that you can download the databases if you know where to look.
It has reached the point where you should not be using your real name on anything, ever, and any passwords of importance should be rotated regularly.
The non-public data, available in software suites that you can plug "classified" databases into, like Analyst's Notebook or Palantir's UI, contains even your current passwords.
The state of things is pretty bad.

Are you subscribed to haveibeenpwned or something similar?
If not its fake. No one is going to contact you about this out of concern for you.
However take this opportunity to think what to do if this happens. Because it does. Consider a password manager. There are free and paid options, up to you.

Does your cell provider provide you with some kind of ID Theft service, or do you subscribe to some other service? Did the message actually include your passwords?
Haven't gotten anything like that recently. A couple years ago I got an email that showed me an old username and password which were correct, but the password had to have been 10 years old. It was all lowercase, 8 characters, and long since changed.

Likely Google is sending him the message because he uses Chrome to manage his account info and passwords.
