    How can they randomly select email adresses when there is so many possible combinations? You could always set up an entirely separate email address and contact them through that saying you got a corrupted (or corrupting!!)email from them and could they please clarify on the new address. Itf it were genuine they would rapidly reply. It would not be a good idea to give them any further identifying details such as age and phone number though, as this is 99.9% certain to be SPAM, just worth it to set your mind at rest.
