The email you received is a well known pay day collections scam. You can go to FTC(dot)gov and read under the section for consumer scams to find details of this and other scams.
The attorney name is real, but the email is not from that attorney. The scammers scrape random individual names and company names from the internet and present themselves as that person or entity. The phone number is not even associated with the name they have stolen. Usually these phones are throw away phones anyway. This scam counts on you to contact the scammer and to respond to the scammer by paying them off.
Delete the email. Don't contact these people. If you contact them they will exert pressure for you to send them money in some untraceable way via Green Dot card, Western Union, Money Gram or any method where the receipient can't be tracked. None of the info in the email is true.
