I've been receiving these emails for the past few days with a HTML attachment that I've obviously never opened or downloaded. I suspect it's spam, but I was curious if anyone else has ever received something similar:
The sender is
[email protected] but it's actually showing as American Express
[email protected] which seems to indicate a spam/phishing attempt.
