they'll ask for that after you've replied to the email! 
it's to make sure you're hooked! I'd be surprised if ANYONE anywhere in the world fools for this shit anymore?
Probably they gather that info from you...
Then later you give them your bank details...
then they try to call your bank claiming to be you later, using the info you gave in the first email to answer security questions to get access to your monies.

I think the people who post about it being a scam are only saying that so they can reply to the mail before anyone else does.
