Sounds bogus. But just report it and see what they say.

Ya terribly phishy. I just watched a Marketplace show on this last night. If the link to follow in order to change your password is contained in the email, it is a fake 99% of the time.

If you really want to change your password to be safe, do it through the regular means. Log into Empire and do it with the legit links contained in the software.
