Email Scam Aimed at CPA's

A new subversive email is in circulation aimed at CPA’s. The overview of the content of the email is as follows. We called the AICPA to confirm that this is indeed a total scam, and not just a link that picked up a virus along the way.

Subject: Termination of your accountant license.
From: "American Institute of CPAs"

The overview of the body of the email says:
AICPA logo Termination of Public Account Status due to tax return fraud accusations Valued AICPA member..Click here to view the complaint: Complaint.pdf

The complaint.pdf link contains the virus. Two of my clients clicked on the link but our anti virus blocked the URL and they did not get the infection.
