The very best and first check of a suspicious email should be the internal routing headers.

Those aren't normally shown in most emails and depending on your email provider/client can be accessed in various ways.

That will show the real sender of any email. It can be a tad difficult to decipher at first, but the FROM address that shows in and email should NEVER be trusted. It's as easy to change that to say anything one would like as it is to put a fake return address on the corner of an envelope.

Wouldn't hurt to put in a petition to just note that fact they have your photo ID.

The authenticator should both protect your account, and go a long way towards being another hurdle they'd have to cross should they wish to try to impersonate you for that purpose.
