Look into the zip file for information? If I had received that email I would immediately have known it to be fake.
Especially if it requires a password to open as many of these ZIP files do in order to prevent AV scanners from checking them out. They are usually kind enough to include the password for you.

 Look into the zip file for information? If I had received that email I would immediately have known it to be fake. Info about violation would have been in the email itself or at least in a text file, not a zipped attachment, would this have been a legit email.

Then again there seem to be a lack of logical thinking amongst a wide number of computer users, reason why people keep falling for email scams.
