This happened to someone?

just ignore it.
some cretin made a SR user called "automatedmessage" and sent you the message telling you to send BTC to an external address... then SR Support sent you a message telling you it was a scam.
Heaps of people probably got that same message, I wouldn't worry.. just keep chugging along :)
