Yup, just look at the active pages about it on Google.

Never ever give out a password over email, if a company wants you to verify something then log in through their normal portal and never use links from any emails asking you to "Verify your details".

It could also be mentioned that there is no serious company that would even think about asking you for your password. Seeing that in a mail is the #1 proof of a scam.

Blatant scam, as others have said. You can tell that because they are asking for the account details. They wouldn't need to do that!
