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?

Yeah, most of the ones I get are a lot more specific about what they're looking for, even the ones who prove they haven't read my resume. Like the idiots who contact me about Cold Fusion jobs when I've used Cold Fusion Studio as Homesite but never did any Cold Fusion programming. Or the ones who don't see that I have full time student looking for part time work all over my resume and contact me about full time permanent positions.

A lot of it depends on the type of job, too. Web developer jobs I know are legit. If they contact me about work at home jobs it's usually spam.
