There seems to be such a company, at this address, but the phone number belongs to Grupo Elpro, whose address is similar to the one from the "business card" of the sender. As you can see, his name is the most Mexican one you could imagine (By the way, Volkan Arslan is a former Turkish football player.) And, of course, there is a .zip file attached, called "download.zip". And, guess what, the originating IP is Nigerian: 197.210.84.182. Sender's email address: [email protected]

I didn't manage to find anything about this email address, but beware. Apparently, this email was sent to many people.
