Dark web - email from IDnotify. Scammer?

I received an email from Intuit that said: "Important: your Email Address was found on the Dark Web." I signed into Turbotax, changing my password and now think it was a scammer, except the return email was: [email address removed]. What do I do now?

maybe not a scammer as you think

IDnotify is run by Experian, one of the three major U.S. credit bureaus. you may get this because you have an account with them - free (companies that you have accounts with may have been hacked and the company offered you free credit monitoring for a period of years. 

 

or otherwise or it might have been a solicitation to open an account.
