Default Did anyone else get an email about Galaxy Nexus? [CM9 Q]

Yeah.. I got an email about an hour ago saying this:

Welcome to your Galaxy Nexus!

Built in partnership by Samsung and Google, Galaxy Nexus has a vibrant HD Super AMOLED display and is the first phone that comes with Android 4.0, Face Unlock, Android Beam™ and the latest Google apps. Simple, beautiful and beyond smart.

And at the bottom....
We sent you this one-time welcome message because you recently activated your Google account on a Galaxy Nexus phone.

Is this from CM9? Or is my google account hacked?

I got it too. I'm assuming that something in the ROM is faking a Galaxy Nexus. Either that or Google assumes that all 4.0+ activations at this point are the Galaxy Nexus, although I believe some other devices like the Transformer Prime have started getting their official updates to ICS as well.

Oh ... so I am not being sent a Galaxy Nexus?

This happened with a ROM on the Captivate too. The build.prop mimicked a certain phone (Nexus S I believe) and tons of people got that "Welcome to the Nexus program" email. Or, maybe it was the mod to make Netflix work in the market (before it supported all 2.2 devices) ... something like that.

Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
i-mate JAQ > HTC 8525 > iPhone 3G > iPhone 3GS (it was a dark time in my life, I was confused) > Palm Pre > HTC Aria > Samsung Captivate > LG Thrill > Samsung Focus > Samsung Galaxy S II (I777) > HTC One X > Samsung Galaxy Note II (I317) + HP TouchPad

Lol. I thought that was an odd email.
