How they scammed:
NOTE: This thread was closed prior because
I'm not saying it's from my anti-virus program. When I navigate to that picture my anti-virus intercepts it and reports it as a virus:
I believe it's a GIF driveby attempt. Basically an attempt to steal information from your browser when your browser renders that file.
Don't just close this thread please, ask another moderators view on it, I'm sure one of them will agree.

And when you analyse the file you see it's not infact a GIF, but "text/plain", basically code that makes itself render an image, yet the code still executes:
