[India] did anyone receive a random DE Shaw recruitment email?

I didn't even apply for the job. This was the email "Thank you for your interest in D. E. Shaw group. We have received your resume.

I logged in to the link and saw contingency hiring as the response to "how'd you hear about this job" I guess an external recruiter submitted my resume
