I had this once from a Cisco reseller in Glasgow. It looked like they done a reverse DNS lookup on our office IP, then a Whois on the domain and just spammed the crap out of me. They started calling a day or two later. When I told them how creepy and inappropriate it was, they actually seemed proud of the lead gen system they subscribed to.
They emailed the admin contact of the domain, which is what tipped me off.
