Huge and weird coincidence ?? (spam)

[Acheron]

I have been getting these spam emails recently that state "Payment Request from ..." with a zip file attached that likely contains a virus. No big deal, I get tons of spam.

Here's where it gets strange though. I am specifically getting spam mails that include the company names of companies I have recently researched on Google. Some of these are very common ones such as Verizon, Citi, etc. Today I got one for CNA though which is the insurance company that underwrites the policy I just obtained for my business.

If I used IE, I would instantly suspect I was infected in some way but I am using FF 3.0.15. AV finds nothing and windows firewall is running without issue, not to mention that I am behind a router.

Anyway, the spams are just getting very specific and the CNA one raised a red flag. Anyone else had similar issues?

Just ignore and flag them as spams, we monitor emails for over 200 companies and out of them, only 2 gets these types, so its not a global issue, more to do with they have the domain within their list and from there it just get pass on, and its not going to stop for a while, I did noticed one out of the two had slowed down, but still on a daily basis, around 20-30 still get through even with a good spam filter.
