Received product registration email for someone else's product

Question

I received the email below from NETGEAR <do_not_reply@netgear.com> yesterday. I didn't purchase the product on the date shown, and I don't know the person whose name appears below.

The link in the email is https://www.netgear.com/support/default.aspx.

I thought it might be a phishing email, but the link goes to a netgear site. Any ideas on why I got this email and what I should do about it? (BTW, I changed the password to my email.) The photos will not come up when copying/pasting from my email account.
