Coinbase scam email

Posting here for traffic...

I very occasionally use Coinbase when I need to pay for stuff with bitcoin. Received an email today from 'Coinbase Support' saying my withdrawal of $500 to my checking account was in process.

I've got loads of phishing emails before (usually PayPal) but they usually ask you to login. This didn't ask anything. However, there was a supposed PDF invoice attached which my bloody idiot of a partner clicked on when he was looking at the email. It just appeared to be a PDF but wondering if this puts some kind of keylogger script on your phone - does this even happen with phones?

I've run the online virus scanner in my phone optimiser and nothing came back.

I'm thinking now that this was probably intended to be opened on a pc so maybe good it was opened on my phone instead.
