DON'T BE AN IDIOT AND GIVE THESE PEOPLE ANY OF THIS INFORMATION.
THIS IS CALLED "PHYSHING" - they are fishing for your credit and personal information so they can either sell it or use it to steal your identity.
Last week I got 3 requests from banks to "update my account" - I DON'T HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH ANY OF THOSE BANKS. I SENT THE EMAIL LINK INFO INSTEAD TO THE SECRET SERVICE.

I thought the same thing, which is why I refuse to srite and tell them anything. But like I said, they need to remove addresses as well.

Yep, I been getting a lot of those lately too.
Makes me wonder how stupid they think people are.

From the way ot looks in their reply email, you can request that they
remove the information that they already have - you don't have to give them information they don't already have.
It doesn't sound exactly like phishing to me
