Did you look at the URL - @google-users.com, then there was a link to NOT Google.

For future reference NO bank, provider worth their salt will EVER send you a direct link - they will say something like "log in to your account/control panel/etc" and please make the <required item> change.

Think, why would they need to send you an email when they can set an autimated notification when you log in? Always good to try think about how you could scam someone in to providing details, an email with the word Google doesn't make it Google.

I actually want to test how sill people are by sending an email from [email protected] and see how many people actually click the link.
