Looks like emails are coming from Fitbit - maybe a system issue.. http://imgur.com/a/K6F2t

How do you know they were from FitBit, rather than from a spammer with their From address set to FitBit?

good question - i believe the email address was Fitbit but will confirm

Ah, sounds like you don't know about from addresses: they are specified by the sender, and not authenticated. A spammer can send email that appears to be from anyone else, until you look at the validated headers (like "Return-path:").
