Reliance Communications — legal notice for recovery

I bought the reliance broadband stick and used it for 1 month in july 2011. It was very slow and connectivity was poor, so i paid all the month's bill and moved on to airtel. The bill was paid and all dues cleared in aug 2011 at the reliance shop in vasant kunj and no further emails or bills were sent after this. But now, after 5 years, i am getting an email from someone claiming that the bill has not been paid, is this a scam???
