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.
