Only those who realise that there is the possibility of top agents who could break the normal CIA rules, Like the police break the speed limit for the Prime Minister and get away with it, the student who breaks normal regulations to achieve greater CIA Intelligence would be a commendable student, additionally there is also the possibility of `units not declared` A good recruitment from this email would to reply with wanting to assist, or perhaps other scenarios.

| 432833 | 2006-02-22 04:46:00 | Sounds like a scam to me Creighton, the wording is very similar to phishing expeditions that Mailwasher screens out for me at regular intervals. They use "police" type IDs to scare the nervous Willies who know they have been visiting naughty sites into responding. A few fish will get caught in the net. Cheers Billy 8-{) [Edit] A good clue is the "question_list.zip" attachment, which almost certainly carries a nasty payload. |
