Reveived a false admin login alert or my site is hacked

Hi,

I received an email from Wordfence or WordPress login alert, but in fact it was an email from someone else, and the email looks so weird with lots of text formatting in it.
The guy was a scammer, and I was afraid that my site is hacked, and he somehow reached my server, or email server.

But it is an email from WordPress actually, the only difference is that it comes from wordpress@xxxxxxxxxx.com ( where xxxxxxxxxx is my website ) and in the subject column it says “[Wordfence Alert] http://www.xxxxxxxxxx.com Admin Login”

and the message is like this:

----boundary_9132770_c55db526-92ff-4786-9748-f3cbeb95f022
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Type: text/plain;
	charset=UTF-8
.
.starts with above message
.there is a long text formatting in between with our email traffic back and forth
.ends with below message
.
----boundary_9132770_c55db526-92ff-4786-9748-f3cbeb95f022--

is this s false positive? or is my site hacked by this scammer?

Thanks
