[email protected] - Has anyone ever had an email from here?

This morning I received an email from [email protected] with an attached pdf letter and the following subject:

UK Refunds & Ticket Retrieval Case Reference Number xxxxxxxxxx

The attached letter isn't addressed to myself, just my email address and doesn't look very official however contains the correct ticket number and PNR for a recent previous trip where I had an EU261 claim (already paid) and a claim for missing tier points. I haven't requested a refund or anything else...Is this an elaborate scam or something else?

It seems plausibly from BA. What does the letter say?

BA sometimes gives refunds when not requested as part of the settlement process. But context and details will give a less vague response.

We will revert in due course.

That's a typical email from that team.

Thanks, I will go back to my normal plan of how to deal with unsolicited random emails and ignore it and see what happens.

Will post any updates on here incase it helps anyone else.
