An e-mail from eponymous

Checked my work e-mail this morning and I had a message from someone with my name!

"Hi, my name is ______, I was doing a search and typed in my name and found you...." I'm not sure if this is spam, but I answered it briefly anyway. I'm suspicious of when someone contacts you out of the blue. I know that if you get spam, you're not really supposed to respond to the address to say "remove me from this list", because that just tells the spammer that yours is an active e-mail address. But this one seemed pretty innocent and came from someone with an e-mail address containing her name (and mine).
