Getting New account [root] has been created with uid:[0] gid:[0] login:[/root] shell:[/bin/bash]

Hello,
We received today a strange email about:
New account [root] has been created with uid:[0] gid:[0] login:[/root] shell:[/bin/bash]
But on the server everything seems to be fine, user not missing, wasn't deleted, scanned with rootkit hunters, etc and it doesn't seems to be compromised.
