Someone tried to redeem the (public) gamekey you already used. There will be a button in case you forgot your account details.
That person clicked that button :) - nothing to worry about. If in doubt, use steamguard.

That happened to me too last week Oo
Honestly it seems fishy to me. As far as I know you can only have one account per email address, as is the rule pretty much everywhere. [edit: which is untrue, it seems. Huh].
The way it's written is strange too. "a query made by a Steam user to discover all account names associated with this email address" is highly illegal, since Valve does not have the right to do that (Ctrl+f Third-party in their TOS only tells me of websites and termination of my account by myself) - either giving my email address (as in, someone asks what's the address associated with DereckShiller), or the account associated with the email address (as in, someone asks who subscribed using dereckshiller@provider.com) is not something they can do and, for the record, I don't think they could ever do it even if it were in the ToS (some things cannot be waived, like your right to sue - but check your State's laws first).
In conclusion, to me it's definitely someone trying to score some free accounts.

I'd need proof for that before making a case;
in any case, what I'm saying is it's basically a phishing attempt. I'm just wondering how it managed to only target email addresses associated with a Steam account.

They don't reveal the information to anyone who clicked the button. They send you that email. So the only one who receives the steam logins connected to an email address is the owner of the email address.

This happens all the time.
When people post commerical retail keys, one person will get it, but the other people will go to a screen which will give them an option to retrieve the account the code is on, by using a scanned image of the retail car.
Some people click that option, but unless they have a photo of the retail card (Very unlikely, as most 'ninja events' only post the code in text form) they can't get the account.

Does that mean that someone can giveaway a key and then claim the winner's account this way. That is kinda scary.
