The way the content is phrased makes them almost identical. Either: 1. The scam emails are really a version of the survey but using fake names and domains. 2. The scammers are now using this researcher's name to make it appear legitimate. 3. The researchers have copied the "scam" text. I've had similar spam from the "CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security and Ruhr-University Bochum in Germany" that looks legitimate albeit misguided in believing that it's appropriate to email abuse@ on every website they think lacks a privacy policy. -- Simon Arlott _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
