IIRC, they have to provide you with a written (and hence legal) copy of
the notice if you request it. It's my understanding that many places are
doing this to all "notices" they get. Since they never get a written
reply in return it's assumed that the email was fraudulent and they ignore
it. It works for them. If I can find that discussion, I'll provide the
link.
