Did anyone else receive a Silver Eagle today from GovMint.com that they didn't order?

I received an email from GovMint.com on Friday, March 14, stating that they had "received my order". I've never done business with them so I figured it was a phishing scam kind of thing and Archived the email for future reference. This morning I received an email at 5:08 stating my order had been shipped. When I picked up my mail I had a package from GovMint.com that contained a 2025 Silver Eagle NGC graded MS69. The receipt had zero charges on it and a net "Amount Paid" of $0.00. Besides the Eagle and the receipt the only other enclosure was their product catalog VOLUME 203.
To the best of my knowledge I have never even visited their website so I don't quite know what to make of this. Anyone else ever encounter this situation?

    @PipestonePete I'd be more concerned that a hacker has your info in connection to this event. Let us know if you find out further. Did you run the cert#? Good luck. Peace Roy

    If it were a hacker there would be a cost.

    Good deal on the free gutter but you will be forever inundated on their spam list. Change your emails and phone numbers as soon as practical. RGDS!

    PS: also confused as to why this is listed in the BST. Are you trying to sell it? THKS!

    True but somehow, they got my home phone and proceeded to call it several times a day trying to sell overpriced garbage. Then all the precious metal flyers in my mailbox which was great to let the mail man piece the puzzle together of what must be in all those packages they have been delivering. No thanks. RGDS!

    I wonder if they bought your info from another coin dealer as a big spender?

    Does your receipt have your account number? You might want to check and see what else you have bought or if you have recently changed your shipping information with them.

    I screwed up when I posted it. If someone can move this to the coin forum I would be very grateful.

    The cert# appears to check out OK.

    Oh no worries, I wasn't trying to play message board cop. Lord knows we have enough of those. I was just wondering if it was here because you were trying to sell it. THKS!

    I don't collect this series so I would be willing to sell it. If I don't hear any follow-up from GovMint by the weekend I will post it for sale on BST or just PM me an offer if you are interested.

    If you buy or sell online always assume a hacker has your info. Enjoy the free coin.

    Call GovMint and make sure that keeping the coin doesn't mean you'll automatically receive future (overpriced) shipments.
