Is this email attachment dodgy?

See pic. Came with an email addressed to me & six others with very normal sounding English names but no one I recognise. I'm wondering if I've forgotten them or if this is some scam/phishing crap?

I'm surprised you need to ask. An email you weren't expecting, with a strangely named attachment and ccing people you don't know? Of course it's spam/malicious. Serious question, just how dodgy would an email have to be before you'd decide yourself to just delete it?

No harm getting another opinion to confirm. I'm not that computer savvy!

I asked the question to try an encourage you to reflect.

There could be. What if I'd told you it was safe? Would you have opened it?

This specific scenario is not technical, it's pure common sense. Don't let your lack of technical confidence discourage you from trusting your ability to think.
