I recently received an official looking email from "Credibility Corporation" with domain dandb.com, which works hard to represent itself as being Dun & Bradstreet, requesting information due to a complaint about insufficient information. In case you get one of these, it is a SCAM, an attempt at phishing for information about you and/or your company and to get you to sign up for useless services.
Something about the email made me suspicious, so I did a whois of dandb.com, and compared to the whois for the real D&B at dnb.com. Since when did dnb.com start using GoDaddy out of an office in Malibu CA? Then I used google to learn some more. And I found the info on Snopes.
Here is a good part of the email I received:
