Is the email address "******@amwins.com" legitimate?

I received an email from the address "******@amwins.com" saying that my account was apparently logged into from a different device. It provided an ip address, the day which it happened, as well as what browser was used. It gave me the option to press a button that read, "Report the user." Upon closer inspection, pressing the button would perform a 'mailto:' to a random gmail. Anyone else receive this? It seems suspicious to me.
