The doc file linked has other dropbox files which are viruses disguised inside ZIP files. Always check the profile of the person messaging you before downloading anything.
The guy who contacted me had a new LinkedIn profile which very few details in it and an image which proved to be to another person when reverse searched.
Also, notice how the email is not on the official domain of Penhaligon?
This domain they use was just registered last month.

Remember: Always be smart when receiving documents.
Preferably only check documents inside Google Drive
(not something you have to download to see).
And if an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
