"You've received a new fax" / "You have a new Secure Message" spam

This pair of spam messages leads to a malicious ZIP file downloaded via goo.gl (and not Dropbox as the spam says)

I have seen three goo.gl URLs leading to three different download locations, as follows

https://goo.gl/1dlcL3 leads to

https://goo.gl/8AanL9 leads to

https://goo.gl/pwgQID leads to

In all cases, the ZIP file contains a malicious .scr with the same name as the ZIP (e.g. Document-6936124.scr). The file is the same in all three locations and has a VirusTotal detection rate of exactly 0/54. The Malwr report shows that this then downloads components form the following locations (hosted by OVH France):
http://94.23.247.202/1607h/HOME/0/51Service%20Pack%203/0/
http://94.23.247.202/1607h/HOME/1/0/0/


An executable esoez.exe is then dropped onto the target system with a marginally better VT detection rate of 1/54. The Malwr report for that is inconclusive.

Recommended blocklist:
94.23.247.202
