Downloading fax attachment

I am working on C# platform and exploring it. I am trying to use Fax api and trying to download the fax attachment content in the code. I can see I get the binary data as output as response of the API once I input the message and attachment id:

You can check the following:

RestClient rc = new RestClient("ClientID", "ClientSecret", false); 
await rc.Authorize("username", "extensionNumber", "password"); ... 
var extension = rc.Restapi().Account().Extension(); 
var messages = response.records; 
// fax var message = messages.Where(m => m.type == "Fax" && m.messageStatus != "SendingFailed" && m.attachments != null && m.attachments.Length > 0).Skip(3).First(); 
var content = await extension.MessageStore(message.id).Content(message.attachments[0].id).Get(); 
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes("filename.ext", content.data);
