This isn't an actual copy of DeepBot, and is most likely a virus.  Only trust download links that are from the domains deep.sg, deepbot.deep.sg, and deepbot.tv.

That is just the sender's "name".  Depending on what you use to send emails, you can set a name that is different from the email address.  Most likely, they set the name to be that email address instead of showing the actual email address.  Also, most of the time the download link for DeepBot will be sent over a message on the forums, which may have an email notification be sent to, but it won't look like that.  I am the main person that does applications for DeepBot, and I can tell you that that is not an actual message.

Also, the email address wouldn't be from the domain deepbot.deep.sg, it would be from deep.sg.  deepbot.deep.sg is just a subdomain to take you to the DeepBot related sections of the website.  There wouldn't be able to be an email address.
