what about asking them for a dump of all your personal data (easy to obtain if in the EU)? find their address yourself; don't use any information from the suspect e-mail.

Things I despise about living in the now. A data broker I'd never heard of mailed me (slightly wrong address but it somehow made it.) Apparently someone tried to change information about me and it failed due to an inability to verify my identity. It leads me to so many questions: Who are these guys? They're not a credit bureau. Why do I have a customer ID at a business I have never done business with? Who tried to change my info? What consequences would this have? Is this a ruse to squeeze more...
