Snail Mail Phishing?

I get a notice of a Class Action settlement in a lawsuit against American Express for charges made in foreign currencies. Fill out the accompanying form and get some type of refund. Catch is that the form asks for an account number. How do I know if this thing is legit as opposed to some scam to get my account information? For the few cents that my share of the settlement is likely to be, I will err on the safe side. Sad, though, isn't it that scams are so pervasive we don't know whom to trust anymore.
