Weird question - is anyone else suddenly getting random Staples emails?

All of a sudden I got about 20 in the last 10 minutes...odd. Is it a glitch? Maybe Mitt found out I've been dissing him (I DID lose a great job through Bain in '96...and my old boss is a good friend of his who now works for Huntsman...ooops).

I don't think Staples has my name or email address. I haven't gotten anything. I don't shop there.

It looks like a glitch...I was worried it could have been identity theft as the email basically said "how do you like your new purchase".

I'm not sure who it is or if they say anything, because I don't answer if I don't know the caller. They don't leave any messages. I think they are probably autodialers that are faking their call from number. Googled them and a bunch of other people are getting the calls, too.
