If you got this kind of mail,don't download any file.


That zip file contains a fake wallet.dat file, a txt file (extension is changed from exe to txt) and a shortcut that runs that malware via a simple and old trick.

It's not a scam, its phishing/nigerian type that people should already know. Only the greedy will lose.
