Yup. If there is such a company, I’d forward the message (with a warning) to their fraud department for investigation. If not, toast it. That file is dangerous. Companies do not like scammers taking their good names in vain to distribute malware.

Common malware-delivery email. And not a particularly clever one.
Your instincts were correct — terminate the message (and its attachment) with extreme prejudice.

Okay, this is a new one. The attachment, which I downloaded and saved and I carefully do NOT include here, is labeled Notice.iso with that cute cd as an icon.
Why am I suspicious?. I've never heard of these people, and I don't think I've used any propane in 20 years (all electric house), and I just have the feeling that the attachment, should I attempt to open it (I won't), might be toxic.
Any thoughts, experience with this type of bait?
