Is that substantially different from simply messaging someone and saying "download this file:" and linking to a malicious site with a .net TLD? Is the thought that the .zip tld conveys some kind of trustworthiness that a different TLD would not?

Obviously they're quite different but if someone is multitasking, not thinking clearly, or just not great with computers it seems like something that could (and probably will) happen. I imagine the "conversion rate" of a .net TLD will be much lower for spammers than that of a .zip
