Attention - Attention

I have recently got a mail from support at thinbasic.com telling me my account as been suspended.
Emal lists some possible reasons why my account has been suspended.
Email had a zip file attached named something "account-info.zip"
Also email contains a kind of virus checking signature stating it is virus free.

_________________________________________________
BE WARNED IF YOU GET SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
WE DO NOT SEND ANY MAIL LIKE THAT.
PLEASE DO NOT OPEN THE EMAIL AND POSSIBLY DELETE IT.

I've done some checking and the email I've got came from the ip 85.15.35.187 that is allocated in IRAN: http://www.ripe.net/perl/whois?searchtext=85.15.35.187

Please attention.
Regards
Eros


PS: email content I've got:

I never react on these kind of emails. I get them regulary, but mostly for EBAY and some banks.

Anyway, thanks for the warning.

I trust that 99% of peoples do not open this kind of emails, but maybe it would be good to add at registration email sentence
"thinBasic team will not attach any files in any emails the possibly does send."

I received pretty similar email from ascii-world, which i admin myself so propably i do the same.
