You'd have to read the fine print of this sites "terms of service" to see what their policy is on relaying contact information to websites which contact them with a potentially legal concern.
There are spam links, unnatural links, which put unnecessary tax on a server.
For example, if you have a "bad" or unnatural link... it could be sending unwanted traffic there, in other words, not humans who might actually be consumers... but bots , pharming/phishing or just getting lost... whatever these bots do , that serves no benefit to the site but actually costs them.
It doesn't matter that YOUR link wasn't MEANT to do that. All that matters is that they have had SOME kind of problem and they are trying to route it out.
IF - they went through this forum first, which would be my guess, then, again you'd have to check the TOS to be sure they don't have the legal right to relay your contact info in such (quasi-)legal cases.
IF - they just have ninja hacking skills to find your email address, that's also not anything we can do anything about.
IF - you believe it did not actually originate where it says it did, I would just report it as spam/phishing/etc. to your email provider and ignore it.
I believe they contacted me in error. I finally clicked on their Rmoov.com link since I now know it's a legitimate site. They called me the owner of degreeforum.net's domain. I clicked their link to let them know that I was contacted in error. They need to contact the actual owners or administrators of this website.
