Odd sales inquiries

My company sells stuff. I know, seems obvious. And we have a website, and the sales@xxxx.com goes to one of our e-mail address, but not mine.

Anyway, I received this e-mail. It is very similar to many I get, with also seeming innocuous requests for video tapes. Why video tapes? I have no idea. But I get a similar e-mail a few times a week. It is odd.

But it came to my address. My address is published on a couple of government website, so I expect they are picking it up from there.

So it's g-mail, but the addresses seem spoofed.

Anyone else pickup anything from this?
