This came with a word doc attachment, not a jpg. I can't really edit it because it is protected. Any help would be greatly appreciated on how to proceed with the attachment.

I have investigated and believe this may be the same/similar mail with attachement.

I will also post this advice here concerning attachments;

Do not open attachments you were not expecting or from senders you don't know.

What risks are involved?

If your computer isn't fortified against the most recent viruses, you leave your system wide open for every bug, worm, and virus floating around the Internet. These debilitating bugs and viruses can cause your computer to malfunction. They may also make your computer vulnerable to identity thieves and hackers.

Never send money by Western Union/Moneygram.
Never give personal information.
Online anyone can claim to be anyone, any age and from anywhere.

Yea I know about the risks, however the only reason why I choose to open any attachment in my catcher account, is only because I am doing it under a non windows OS. I run Linux, so I don't feel much of a threat against me, so I can also post the doc as a fake too. Of course this is still not recommended for more newer types of users of the internet and computers.
