Allegiant Air scam

I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but I got this mail this morning, which seems to be a virus or a scam:

This is what DV site says:

I've had several similar emails from different 'organisations', all with zip files. If you search on Google for the sender's email address, they all link to a site called projecthoneypot.org. I haven't risked opening any zip files or even risked looking at this honeypot website!

Further to last message I see that Project Honeypot maybe an anti spam site that is automatically picking-up these fraudulent emails!
