I have received an email from this address twice now:

wanting to verify my identity. Naurally I turned it off.

Smart move.

Anyone recognize it?

Googling ateinc.net mostly found Chroma ATE.inc (chromaate.com), but
the first search result was

"ateinc.net ~ Home Design, Interieur & Möbel Ideen
ateinc.net/ - Cached
ateinc.net ~ Home Design, Interieur & Möbel Ideen."

Bad spellings like that are not an infallible indication of a dicey
site, but they were enough to stop me from going to it.

Search also turned up a legitiamate-looking site, Applied Thermal
engineering, ate-inc.com; note the dash and the .com.

Amazon has figured out how to spam Google with this bait-and-switch,
promising "traffic statistics, rank by category and country,
engagement metrics and demographics for Ateinc at Alexa" in the
search results but not delivering what was promised:
