Getting a load of these in my eircom inbox recently. Sending them to spam and also getting voice messages from outside caller from Peach Telecom with links which I have no intention of opening.
Any way of blocking these..

Getting loads of these too, and I don't use eircom, so it's nothing to do with them.

The contents of the email varies, but is always something business like (e.g. unpaid invoice, received fax), whatever. Always acompanied by a ZIPped attachement (which you obviously shouldn't open).

I'd be curious too to find out where they come from, and how they got my address.

BTW: they only go to my business not personal address.
 
I started receiving these the same night I first ordered from aliexpress. I work in the security industry so have tested the viruses in many of the attachments. Generally they are a form of ransonmware - meaning it will encrypt all your files and give you a deadline of around 48hrs to pay the extortion fee of a few hundred euro or you lose your files. Many of these cryptomalware are irreversible so if you don't pay you lose everything on your computer.
