Thanks for bringing these suspicious looking e-mails to the forefront. As you mention, the e-mail mimics a scan-to-e-mail file from a Xerox WorkCentre Pro. It?s important that customers be suspicious of all scan-to-e-mail files that they were not expecting to receive and to pay attention to the ?From? field of these e-mails. The spam e-mail may fill in the ?From? field with a user name to make the e-mail look safe, as opposed to a machine name (i.e. wcp245@xerox.com). I advise all users to only open email attachments that are sent from a reliable, identifiable source. I encourage your readers to check Xerox.com/security for ongoing tips and advice.
