It's definitely a hoax email. There's no Adultwork.co.uk, only Adultwork.com. I'm sure they wouldn't be asking you for your password if it was genuine.

if you would like to add me on Yahoo IM, please mention BGAFD. thanks :)

To consider:

1. Adultwork would never contact you from a gmail email address.
2. Adult work would never ask you for your password. (And I doubt that would ask you for the other information.)
3. How would asking you for your nickname, password, birthday, and real name confirm that you are you? And how would it prove that you didn't have content that wasn't yours?
4. In the case that Adultwork would think that you had content that wasn't yours, wouldn't it ask you to show proof that the content in question was yours? Which would include Adultwork specifying the content that had been reported.
5. Why would adultwork only give you 24 hrs?
