I recently received the same. I was researching fire/flame retardant materials for a product we manufacture.

I went to a fire retardant forum (very weak and perhaps illegite) where I saw a name, Ben Cheng, as a poster. 24 hours later my company has received this same e-mail with the name......Ben Cheng

Oddly though, I never submitted our company name or e-mail info - it was somehow extracted ?

Further, the e-mail was sent to an office other than my own, a receptionist with a different e-mail address.

Very disconcerning.

Remember the picture frames? China made these uploadable digital frames that were all the rage. Problem: when you plugged the USB connection the frame downloaded a trojan. This was embedded from the place of manufacture. US depts of commerce AND defense became involved. Seems that office workers in sensitive govt. branches were using these devices and thus an unknown number of govt. computers hacked.

God only knows.
