Be wary of official looking emails with zip attachments - false PayPal (PP) emails

Been getting a lot of spam / shilling emails with zip attachments. The zips are obviously some kind of virus or tracking malware software that will wreck your system.

Today received one with the subject "Resolution of case #PP-016-620-232-023" and the below text:

Of course this is a spam / shilling email. I don't even have a PayPal account at that email address to which this was sent!
