Email scam
Not what you're looking for?
Your job as a high-tech crime investigator for a large U.S. university employing more than 10,000 faculty and staff with 60,000 enrolled students requires you to investigate and issue incidents of the Nigerian scam occurring on campus, and to file a report with the appropriate law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and Nigeria. In the past 24 hours, your campus has been deluged with mails, which have eluded all campus server filters. You need to ask people to report whether they have sent money or responded to the mails. The information technology (IT) department already has the statistics on the number of mails that got through.
Compose an e-mail message (500-600 words) to send to all e-mail addresses in the campus directory, explaining the scam and directing all students and employees to take the necessary remedial and precautionary measures. Address the following questions in your e-mail:
What can people do if they have received these scam messages?
What steps are you taking to report the scam activity to the appropriate law enforcement agencies? Explain the procedures that are required to report the scam to the U.S. and Nigerian governments.
Use Microsoft Word to write your e-mail message. In addition, include a subject line for your e-mail.
