Normal for Standard and Poor's to make phone calls?

I guess I'll ask the financial people this. So when I started here I got the phone number to the old head of HR for Benefits. Usually atleast once a week I get a call from people trying to get benefits information and such. When that happens I just forward them off to the 1-800 number I have for benefits because it isn't my job since I am an accountant and have no relation to HR. Well I just got a call from Standard and Poor's trying to find out information if certain executives are with the company. My company bought out/mergining with another company if you don't remember an earlier post from last month from me. Is it weird they would make a phone call like that since they do financial research on stocks? This is the company I'm talking about http://www.standardandpoors.com/

No, it is someone fishing around for none public information. it could be anyone most likely someone in the investment world looking for some inside information.
