MMC being acquired by Market Connect Group

I work for MMC (Merchandise Management Company) and received an email from a firm called Market Connect Group stating that they're acquiring MMC. They're looking to have existing MMC employees complete "on-boarding" paperwork for them within 3 days. I'm concerned that this may be a scam, as this is the first I've heard of this acquisition. I'm suspicious of the 3 day request for my SS#, email address, DOB, and other crucial identifying information. Their paperwork appears to be legit, they have valid contact names, but still, I would expect that MMC would have sent an email themselves, not this new company. I've reached out to HR at MMC and am waiting to hear back. Does anyone out there have any knowledge of this?

If a company acquires another company, they will always get the payroll records and contract employee records. So, YES more than likely a SCAM. To make sure reach out to 2 contacts you have at the old company to confirm. Make sure your forward the email you received. I say 2 because 1 might be hacked.
