I recently experienced this with a software vendor after trialing some of their software. It's one of those forms where you have to enter some personal info before downloading the installer, and while I provided them with my email address I deliberately dodged entering my employer information. Imagine my surprise when I get a phone call from them at work asking how that software was working out for me.
To be fair, I hated the software and wasn't going to buy it. That phone call certainly didn't nudge me in their direction though.
