I say you'd better reply to it immediately, and provide all the info requested.

It surely won't be a scam as they have ask for your password, and it has come from the Chief Marketing officer.

Looks totally legit to me...

Yes, it shows great concern of the guy from the UK marketing place to care about little old NZ and their customers.

He is very insistent, I have had probably about 40 emails from him so far about updating this informations. it must be urgent so I really should get onto it, I just need to find where I have that datas they are asking for

Obviously yet another hoax.

Probably best to provide your credit card number and PIN in advance so you can receive your inconvenience refund. <end sarcasm>
