I got this one too, I've replied back via a dummy email to see what they send. I expect a dodgy PDF.

I have just spoken to someone on the live chat on ICO website as we had same email, they said if you forward your emails onto casework@ico.org.uk then they will investigate as they are the only commissioned office to deal with GDPR

Received the same email today from the above, stating we are on a non-compliance register, which is not true
Great to see this scam is being highlighted and shared
