YES It is a scam! No Doubt, It's a common ploy to get any Info, but don't bother doing anything about it, Other than Deleting it. they have broken no law and you can't trace thier ISP if they did. Look at the detail of info they want, NEVER GIVE OUT ANY INFO OUT LIKE THIS !!!
Quick If is to tell them to call you.

That is so freaking crazy but not surprising. Go ahead and report it, wouldn't hurt. There are so many creepy things like this happening.
We had someone fraudulently buy a $3000 saxaphone in Nashville with our credit card (where we have never been) and had it shipped to Compton, California....overnight....also on our credit card. The instrument store had to take the hit, the police said it was really no use even trying to catch the person responsible.
Don't ever let waitstaff whom you don't know personally take your credit away from your site. You just can't take chances anymore.

Waitstaff grabbing your account number is probably the least of your worries. While I have heard of it happening I have yet to witness it, be victim of it, or have anyone else I know fall victim of it. The worst I ever saw was a girl who was bumping tips (physically changing the amount) on the receipts. She was arrested in the restaurant and hauled out in handcuffs. She got 5 years in the state pen for credit card fraud.
The point is that more than likely this was someone dumpster diving your credit card statement or even just a random hit. Believe it or not there aren't that many credit card numbers out there and if you know enough faking one and getting lucky is about 1 in 5.
