If you signed up for emails from a certain, now defunct vendor you got this one too.

You may have gotten 1001 emails from them in the past.

Anytime someone you don't know is asking for business or personal information assume it's a scam.

Got it as well- scanned the attachment that was virus free- and did have a list of smokes for sale- nothing interesting, really. Certainly no ccs listed thereupon.
