Actually, I'm glad this was posted since I also received this (to my
personal email address) and I've just spent the last 20 minutes or so
investigating it. I usually just send my spam to trash and move on but this
one caught my eye. If others got it, and can explain what's happening, I'd
appreciate it.

What I found:
The email originated from c-24-126-245-82.we.client2.attbi.com
[24.126.245.82]
The phone number really is valid for a group called ibtco.com who I have no
association with.
Google search for "lidiya aliyeva" only returns these log segments:

Which can be seen in it's entirety here:

This isn't by any stretch an exhaustive inquiry, but I'd love to have
someone who knows better than me tell me what's happening here. Why would
email that, from all outward appearances seem to be spam, be sent with a
valid phone number of a (seemingly) valid company but via (seemingly)
nefarious means(seemingly) be trying to get banking info from me?

thank you for your spam, but i get enough on my own.   why dont you trace it
and
find out where it came from?   seems like the next logical step.
