This reminds me a lot of when the department of education sold my student loans to a couple private firms. Out of the blue, I just received a couple emails from a couple companies I've never heard of asking me to give them all my information (including my SSN) in order to create an account. I deleted them immediately, assuming there was a new phishing scheme in vogue, and didn't realize what had happened until I checked my accounts a few months later and realized they had been paid off, with no information about who did the paying off. I couldn't even find one of the emails afterward to figure out who actually owned the debt, and had to call someone at DOE loan servicing to figure it out. I was flabbergasted.
