odd email...fraud/ scam?

I received an email to my private email address from a wine company. Dear xxx xxxxxxx please log in using this temporary password etc etc etc

 

The name used is what caught my attention as the first name was my youngest daughters nic name used by family only and the surname my maiden name!

 

Now neither of us drink wine and I checked with my other daughter who does drink wine, but she has no idea how they could have possibly got either name.

 

I googled and yes the company is legit so I rang them only to have a rude woman tell me well what do I want her to do about and give her the email address and she will make sure they don't send me emails. hmmmmm lady I was asking how these names came about and maybe it's a scam that the company should be aware of. Waste of a phone call.

 

So, do I report it or ignore and delete?
