Spam.  Or rather, phishing.

1) It was sent to a mailing list, which is not going to be a webmail
user (the individual members might be, but not the list itself).
2) Any reputable organisation does not ask you for your password, as its
an obvious security issue and they already have it to let you in at all.
3) If you have a webmail account, do its notices look like this, or do
they at least call you by name?

If you have to ask, you are one of the reasons those scams
are filling everybodys email boxes.  So many people are being
successfully fooled every day that spamming scams like these
is worthwhile.
