I am exposing this email address here because they have just sent me another email that does not concern me at all.
It is the second time they do this.

The email address [email protected] belongs to PPD, Inc., which is a global contract research organization focused on delivering life-changing therapies.
PPD, Inc. is a legit company.

May seem a silly question, but when you hit the reply button, was the return address the ppdi.com one or something else, such as [email protected]? Very common for scammers to give a big company address - I could change my email to [email protected], for example - but to use a different email entirely for returns.
If the return email points to the same email or somewhere within the same company it may be genuine.
Regards,
Dan

I don't make any international calls, sorry. Don't answer any, either.
My mobile subscription doesn't even allow for international calls.

Is the email something like a phishing scam from fake Amazon where they ask you to enter your personal information, such as credit card numbers or to renew your login credentials? The reason I'm asking is because you wrote that the data in the email seem to be some sort of invoice which has nothing to do with you.
I get similar phishing emails posing to be from Amazon, where somebody I don't know has used my Amazon account to purchase something from them, and in the email body, there are personal information, namely, the buyer's name, physical address, and the date of purchase, which of course, is not me nor somebody I know of. The message in the email tells me that if this is not you, they ask me to change my login information since I have been hacked.
Of course, I know they're 100% fake, so I report them to the "real" Amazon site, since they have an email address called
"[email protected]" which is solely dedicated for reporting spoofs and scam emails guising to be Amazon.
If the contents of the email has nothing to do with you, just trash it straight to the bin.

To check whether the address is genuine or spoofed, it is often sufficient to examine the full message headers and check the SPF/DKIM/DMARC entries, which are used to authenticate the message originator and verify originator's authority to send mail in the name of PPD.COM/PPDI.COM (both domains lawfully belong to PPD). However, even if the messages in question are genuine, sending this kind of irrelevant personal information is an obvious violation of data protection regulations. So, one should ...

However, even if the messages in question are genuine, sending this kind of irrelevant personal information is an obvious violation of data protection regulations. So, one should not write back to that address but directly to PPD's data protection officer. In my experience, even the most unfriendly companies respond to data protection complaints very quickly. ▲ Collapse

If the email doesn't relate to you and seems suspicious, it's best to delete it to avoid any potential phishing scams. Always trust your instincts when it comes to unsolicited emails with personal information.
