In various jobs I've supervised data security. I also at one point worked for a data security firm. So I have an academic interest in scams.
It's discouraging how they get a little bit more sophisticated every year. It's an arms race - the hardware/software vendors try to stay ahead of the curve, and often do, but not always.
If there is any question at all - assume it is a scam. Never, never ever click on or open an attachment unless you are 100% sure it is legit.
