The Subject of the email was along the lines of: Your ACH Payment has been blocked.
Within the email is a little table describing some sort of payment transaction to my account which has been "blocked" or "cancelled" with instructions to click on and open up an attached file.
DO NOT OPEN THAT FILE IF YOU GET ONE OF THESE EMAILS.
