There is an article on the Register that suggests you at least are not alone. Whether or not it is indeed a ploy to drum up business or not remains to be soon though.

I received this mail below, and call me paranoid, but I think this may be a ploy by Thawte to generate additional business. The certificate in question runs out soon, and I have been constantly harassed by them into applying for a new one for the past 3 months. I mean, harassed, I even had my CIO receiving 1 or 2 emails per day warning him too. Does anyone else have any similar experiences?
