If the email did indeed originate from the company you work for, they owe you a gas card. Employers can't offer you money or benefits as a practical joke and then just say "April Fools!" There are laws regarding offers from your employer for compensation and benefits.

It most likely didn't though, most phishing campaigns are offered by postmaster services. Not to mention, the email domain was probably not an official company one (this first sign of a phishing email).
