Someone activated a Zune on my 360?

Today I received an email that struck me as rather strange:
The thing is, I have a 360, and I have a Zune. I've never plugged one into the other. As a matter of fact, I haven't connected my Zune to a computer at all in the last four months, so I sure didn't 'activate' my Zune on my 360 at all. There's not much information to be had in the email about who to contact about this stuff, but it makes it sound rather suspicious to me, as if someone else were using my 360 Gold account. I'm not entirely sure what actions to take, beyond changing my password for Live.
Does anyone have any insight?

or it's a phishing scheme
I wouldn't worry about it unless you clicked on any links from the email. If you did, I'd check them for authenticity, and then forget about it.
I get stuff like this all the time to my 'monoxide' account on gmail because it's a single dictionary word, and a lot of people use variations of it. I just click the "Unsubscribe"/"This is Not Me" link if there is one and then trash it.
The domain they keep pointing toward is 'email.zune.net', which, after I've calmed down, looks almost certainly to be illegitimate. They point toward that domain
Well, I changed my password immediately afterward, just in case. Never thought Phishing might be so convincing, or that I'd be such a dupe.
Thanks for the guidance, Monoxide.
