    A replies? shouldn't this be Any replies? English is not my native language but i do think that's a spelling error. Would G make spelling errors in automated emails?

    This email sounds a bit fishy if you know what i mean, hopefully you didn't click on the link in the email?
    I would copy and paste it and send it to the support team to get more clarification on this.

    It would be strange if you already have an account.

    Google accounts is basically one interface to all their services. If you've got a GMail address you should already have a Google account.

    Or maybe someone used your email address to open account.

    Sounds like it may be phishing. Did you double-check the URL to make sure it actually came from Google?
