Sadly, out current reality is trust no one. You can, should find a number for outlook, find a HUMAN and ask. If, you are told they do need your number you can chose to give it to them.

The company might ask you to forward the e-mail to them. If, you ask they will tell you they will not inform you of the results of their inquiry. Do they check or is the goal just to make you THINK they are doing something?

I do not type in my credit card number for mail order purchases. A friend said I am being stupid. When, you call in an order, you are often talking to some person in a home office. You don't type in your credit card number on the internet, THEY DO IT FOR YOU.
