A client share to me a malware in private chat !!!

I applied for a job, and they sent me a file, asking me to open it to find the requirements. What should I reply? I suspect it might be spam.

Hi Bilal,

I think this is very typical of scammers so If I were you, I'd flag the job post as scam and also don't waste your time responding or opening the file, no genuine client would have downloading a file with requirements. That's way too suspicious

I would also like advice - a "potential" client sent me press files with a virus. Dropped the rar package directly through the Upwork system. What should I do in cases where it is important to review the files before accepting the assignment?
