Has anyone else recently received an email claiming that a Microchip sample
request was made "on your behalf"?

My first reaction was to think that it must be a phishing attempt but it
doesn't request that I follow any links or open any documents. Also it
passes gmail's authentication tests for having come from microchip.com

I don't recall placing any sample orders with them in years and I can't
think who would have done it for me.

One more strange thing is that it says that the email is a summary of my
order but there is no list of parts or any delivery address for me. Maybe
it was a phishing attempt and there was an attachment originally? But it
would be strange for gmail to strip out the attachment and not give me a
security warning about the message.
