Spam or not?

I got an odd e-mail today. Normally I can smell spam or phish a mile away, but this is just strange.

We were excited to find your resume on the internet! You appear to have the skills and talents that would qualify you as an eXceptional candidate for Northrop Grumman –Mission Systems. If you would like to join one of the most Progressive and  Exciting divisions of Global Leader Northrop-Grumman Corp. Please send a word/ doc of your resume to the eXceptional Candidate Center/Mission Systems. xcc@ngc.com

I did some digging, and ngc.com has the exact same registration information as northropgrumman.com, and uses the same DNS servers. All the IP addresses are even in the correct assigned IP blocks.

Is this actually legit?

When I'm not sure I normally view source on the e-mail to make sure any URLs in the e-mail actually link to where they say they link to. That's usually a dead giveaway. I got one recently that sounded almost like a legitimate job e-mail except that it was for jobs in Nigeria. Since I wouldn't move there even if it WAS legitimate I just dumped it:). The recruiters ARE very busy right now, so if you have a resume up it is possible it's legit.
