Filling it in falsely may be tempting (can`t believe it asks for your PIN- definitelty a scam)
but will confirm to them your valid email address, don`t reply at alll and report it to foops[at]moc.yabe as Hulk says

also, & this is important, make sure you don`t use your "main" email addy when you reply, otherwise your just letting them know that email addy is active & from then on your junk mail will increase a thousand fold.

if anyone wnats a spoof gmail addy pm me & i`ll arrange it ;)
