[Allen, Brian]

Hi-
Someone is impersonating one of our professors in a phishing scam and the
reply-to address is:

This is not our professor's account.

Please disable this hotmail account.

Good Day,
 

My name is Michal Grinstein, I am an Associate Professor at the George
Warren Brown School of Social Work and is the Associate Director at the
Center for Social Development at Washington University in St. Louis. I got
you information through the online needy site. I always always find it my
responsibility to help someone, somewhere really in need of help. I have
chosen you this month. Though I might not be able to help you with
everything but I always set aside some part of my monthly Salary to help
every month.

 
Kindly let me know what I can help you with as soon as possible because I
have a whole lot of busy schedule to catch up with. I will wait to read
from you.
