Possible Virus from a Fake AA.com?

I received an e-mail this morning from "[email protected]". The contents of the e-mail were:

Quote:

Hello
FLIGHT NUMBER AA332
ELECTRONIC 901773703
DATE & TIME / JANUARY 24, 2012, 12:52 AM
ARRIVING / Riverside
TOTAL PRICE / 382.34 USD

Please find your ticket attached.
To use your ticket you should print it.

Thank you for using our airline company services.
American Airlines.

There was a file attached, Ticket.zip. I've bought many tickets from AA.com online and never seen anything like this. What's more, just checked the AA timetable, -- there is no AA 332, nor am I able to find any commercial service to RAL at all. It isn't even listed in EF as a valid airport code. Obviously, I haven't opened the attachment.

Any ideas?
