Does your current employer know you want to leave?
How valuable are you to your employer? Is it possible to negotiate better terms (higher salary, better insurance, ...)? Some employers may go this route if they see a high-value employee in danger of being poached.

I told my employer I was planning on leaving, then changed my mind. Both my employer and I are happy with my work. I was seeing what else is out there. This definitely feels like malicious intent.
