That's usually the case with phishing scams. When receiving messages like this, it's always a good idea to either ignore it, or if you feel it might be legitimate, contact the person/company about it yourself - with a KNOWN GOOD phone number or other contact information, rather than simply responding to the email.

Companies would never need you to give them personal information, including your ID and/or password for any reason, especially through email.

It's not about he got the right email or not. It's about u leaked your personal info somewhere. That's serious.

Say, how many of u know my address email?

Doesnt really matter if someone knows your email address...dont get your point. Specially since more than likely they just got it off a forum
