I get this too - I will get a few quiet months, then a couple calls at the same time. I attributed it to a network effect of a couple folks reaching through the same group of friends. Why would someone sell a list when you can get it for free on LinkedIn?
I hadn't lived in Chicago for years, but I still get calls from the area from companies I've never submitted my resume to, and almost never in dribs and drabs, always several in a day.
One disgruntled recruiter must have sold their entire database of resumes to a few other firms, and they put their respective B-teams on chewing through it. I mentioned an internship with Lotus Notes at the bottom of my resume, and I get calls: "Lotus Notes Administrator 8+ Years"
