Others have received a similar message “Who the fXXk are you and why are you on my credit card statement”.
When you click on the link it downloads or opens a word document. Most systems will block the documents active contents. So it displays this rather official looking message encouraging you to unlock the document.
Needless to say, if you do there is a nasty macro hidden inside.

When I tested this on our isolated system, I found that the nasty would not run if the user account did not have administrator rights on the PC. When the user had Administrator rights, KARE AV found and disinfected the attempt.
