That doesn't always help. Here are two sample responses (I paraphrase)

"Terribly sorry, our server was hacked into and the mailing list was
stolen".


Then they have admitted it's their poor security that caused the
problem.

"There's nothing wrong with our systems, it must have been you"


Then they're lying.

Either way I would not deal with them again.
