Those College EMails

One of my daughters works at a college. For many years she has done double duty - holding two jobs there. By day, she works at her desk (and all over the campus) as administrative assistant or secretary. By night, she teaches classes. She frequently forwards to me copies of emails that make the college rounds. This warning of a scam or con is the latest.

Subject: FW: KEEP ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THIS SCAM? :)

I finally found a scam to tell you about. :)
Have a great day!
