Enclosed DOC is your Citibank Paymentech electronic Merchant Billing Statement.

The attached document Statement ID 64775-4985.doc contains an exploit (analysis pending) with a VirusTotal detection rate of just 10/46. It appears to exploit a flaw in the RTF converter. I'm not all together sure which flaw it is, but making sure that your copy of Microsoft Office is up-to-date and fully patched will help to mitigate against this sort of threat.

Update: another version is using the filename Statement ID 4657-345-347-0332.doc. It looks like it is exploiting CVE-2012-0158 aka MS12-027.

Symantec is passing the file as clean (including passing analysis at ThreatExpert.com).

RTFscan found a 1544 byte OLE document inside the RTF. OfficeMalScanner v.58 did not detect anything.
