The scammer is less worried about you replying, so the return address is not a disposable account - because their goal is more that you open the attachment to see the refund information. But it is really a script to download something malicious to your computer.
In these cases, never click on anything in the email, including the attachment. Open a new window browser and go to the website and see if you can find the information independently. If not, look up their informational phone number and call them. Better to find out it is a scam than to have something terrible downloaded to your computer.
