I was going to say:
"It could well be just a different approach to get you to look at their site"

But on reflection who would want to do that with what they have already said.
No-body.

I think the AV cleared the file inside the "zipped" folder.
I ran a scan and nothing came up, so it is a matter of wait and monitor for a while!

Good stuff :)

I would imagine the real reason was either phising for more info...
or the zip file (which appears to have been cleaned by your AV) contained a trojan type keylogger in an attempt to get your credit card or other details.

Unfortunately I can't even check the one I had originally as I use MailWasher as my download client, which has been cleaned out, and for some unknown reason none of my VM mail is ever accessible after it's been DL, not even from the deleted folder, (they always just disappear)
