If somebody has manually setup their system to use you as a DNS resolver,
then you will get packets for any and all DNS requests they make, no matter
where they are on the Internet.  Not a very smart way to do things, mind
you, but I've seen it before, usually from customers of mine who moved a
computer from work or another ISP and kept their old DNS settings.  I don't
think that's what's going on in your case, though...
