> Just got this e-mail...

Confirmed. The Better Business Bureau even has an article on their web-site that discusses the issue:

It’s Still Out There! New Advice for Recipients of BBB Complaint Email Scam

> http://www.bbb.org/us/article/Its-Still-Out-There-New-Advice-for-Recipients-of-BBB-Complaint-Email-Scam-31432

From the web-page is this:

>One of his firm’s clients opened the affected attachment, which launched malware that quickly found the accounting office’s computers, accessed bank numbers and passwords, and nearly completed a fund transfer from the company’s account.

Recipient beware!
