I receive similar emails quite frequently.  If I don't recognize the sender as a client, or if I'm not expecting it, I normally do not even open the attachment.  It is surprising to me how much time is spent by those sending the fake email to make it look legitimate.  I get a lot that say something like "We just received these documents.  Can you please review them ASAP, we are closing first thing in the morning."  I have even had some that purport to be from other law firms - firms that actually exist, but are in other states that I have no business with.  

The scammers are getting much more tricky.  It is important to be diligent.

Thank you for sharing.

Best,
