Lena Michalczyk STE LTD "documents" spam

This spam message does not come from STE UK Ltd or any company of a similar name, not does it come from anyone called Lena Michalczyk. In the sample I received, it actually originated from a hacked machine located in the Federated States of Micronesia.

In the same I saw, the attached file was block20140915_16321753.pdf.zip but the attachment itself was corrupt, however there's a good chance that the spammers will fix this and send it out with a working payload.

If you receive a message like this, simply delete it and do not open the attachment.

    here was no attachment on the one I received. What's the point, then?

    @Sam, I think the spammers made an error. Instead of Base 64 encoded data in the attachment it just said "zz.zip". But the chances are that they'll fix it and try again.
