Stay safe, check your settings manually, and never rush into clicking links out of panic! Although chances are high that by now they might have solved the issue but even if you have received such emails manipulated by scammers, don't do anything and confirm from your security activity log on Google's main security page.
Although it may seem trivial and easy to ignore, phishing scams like this are highly concerning. Once we give scammers access to our Google account or the authority to access it, they can steal our data. They may even gain access to other important accounts associated with our Google account.

Therefore, I advise anyone (especially beginners) not to carelessly click on any links in your email inbox, and don't panic about information you receive in your inbox. Simply pay attention to your Google activity, and ensure there is no suspicious activity. Frequently check sessions that have access to your Google account in the "Security & Sign-in" menu. If you find a strange session from an unknown device, immediately revoke its access.

Furthermore, if you have granted access to scammers, immediately secure your Google account. First, you must revoke access to all logged-in device sessions (except your current session). Second, you should immediately use a new email address and use it for other accounts, especially those related to your finances (other financial apps). I know this takes a lot of time, but it should be better for your future security.

I think scammers will continue to target your Google account, especially once they find a vulnerability. So, I don't recommend reusing your Google account. There is a chance your email address has been leaked, and scammers will try to attack it continuously, beware.

Because of phishing links like this, it is the reason why I hardly check my emails, let alone open the emails sent to me by anyone. The time I remember having an email is when I am registering for something, which requires me to confirm before it becomes functional. Aside from that, I am not opening my email box to any other message if not that. If anyone should check my email, they will see numerous emails that are yet unread. The emails that are left unread are the ones I didn't permit. The ones I permit, are the ones I am aware of, I can read up and do as I am told.

For emails like this, OP posted, can be in my email for a long time, and I won't notice that such an email was sent to me

I've been using the Google since then and I do keep always have a recovery e-mail and contacts every time the e-mail address is important so I do keep aware if there is a transaction have been committed, now if there is no transaction you've done possible its an attack, next is where it came from sometimes attacker now are mindful they use a look like emails to deceive and just single mistake it could ruin your account.

Now if there is no link has been clicking you are safe, if there is an e-mail came from unfamiliar and not expected, ideal to delete and block. Safety measures do always start into being mindful.
