Every org's policy is different, but at those I've been involved with (in the US anyway), any official correspondence (or even thoughts about it) on behalf of the company, especially regarding those info requests in question, has to go through the respective legal team.

This is, of course, assuming such requests are actually legitimate.

Don't respond or respond and tell them to follow the official channels.

Once YOUR local agency contacts you then you can decide what to do. But some random organization ? There's no legal framework.

I assisted in two such cases and in both cases the requests came through Interpol and to the local law enforcement agency which contacted us.

    Thanks for your suggestion.
