We’re living in strange days indeed. NYCEDC stands for New York City Economic Development Corporation. The only way I can see this working is if someone actually did just talk to Helena Burke about a job. Or perhaps the spammers hope that curiosity will get the best of you and you’ll open the zip file?
Hello,
It was nice talking with you yesterday. Attached is the NYCEDC Employment Application. It’s an interactive PDF form so you should be able to type directly into it. If you could bring a completed copy with you to the interview, that would be great. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Best,
Helena Burke

I have received such a virus too and a few others. Seems like there are even more types in the wild
