I got the same one. Did what you did. They told me to send the email to them (I have gotten five of them). Send the email to [email protected] they can maybe trace the email or have their computer folks turn it in to police. NEVER give personal info to anyone you are suspicious and don't know.
I got a call last week from Mastercard. They asked for the last four digits of my SS. I hung up. That night a person called back. It Mastercard and there was an issue. They cancelled my card and are issuing a new one. I was suspicious... will not give SS out, especially on the phone.

I sometimes get them from "banks" that I don't have an account with.
If I was a younger, tech-savvy type, I would write a program that would flood their servers with thousands of fake "user IDs " and fake passwords, then they would have to waste all their time checking them out and finding they don't work.

I get these frequently and just forward them on to paypal security and then delete them. I NEVER click on a link in an email directing me to change or verify personal information. I will go to the actual website and check for any notices in my profile area or even send them an inquiry from their customer support or security area or if there is a number to call I will contact them. If nothing is there then just forget it. Ann in TN
