Adobe Email Fraud?

So I get two copies of the same email but they are addressed to my old email address I haven't used in the past 8-9 years. I'm thinking the attached .zip file might do some harm.

"Hello Dear,

- Collaborate across borders
- Create rich, polished PDF files from any application that prints
- Ensure visual fidelity

Delete that puppy.

Adobe does not propagate updates via zip files attached to emails.

Pretty much any unsolicited email that wants you to open an attached zip is bad news.
