In our case it could have been sent by registered snail mail, or they could provide a TLS secured web interface where clients record their details after having received credentials again by registered (certified) snail mail. The whole thing has been going on for more than half a year already anyway. I know that PGP and similar solutions aren't ready for people who don't know how to at least check a mail header before replying to some dubious offer blindly.

Aah well ...
