I get these occasionally but they are not personalised in any way. A friend however was very unnerved to get his first example (on a Mac) which included part of his phone number. I pointed out that the format was the same as those confirmation of ID messages that say 'your phone number is xxxxx xx1234' so it was unlikely they had the whole phone number or they would have included it for added verisimilitude.
