No ISP can ask for username and password. This is a phishing mail. Do not respond.

Some one is just trying to collect user names and passwords so he/she can use them.

Do not send your information as you may end up paying thousands in yuour next bill.

This is a phishing mail

He just wants to get your username and password, dont give any info

also their are software which can emulate different e mail addresses like the e mail will look like it was sent from your email address, but would have come form a different e mail address, so dont fall pray to this , in this case he is using a gmail account LOL
