Thanks for sharing Taskford.
About files shared in an email or any chat platforms like Telegram, Discord, never click on it is a vital rule for everyone. It is more important rule to obey if you received it from a stranger, more reason to never click on it and download file then open it.
About email you received, I would like to ask. Did it come to your Spam folder?
Mostly emails from scammers will come to Spam folder that is a signal or can be considered as a red flag, don't click on it if the sender is a stranger.
