"part-time job opportunity" from david.scott@mysteryb ucks.com [possible scam]

[vipz]

Anyone else received this email? The only thing this man left was his return email. Looking up the domain whois query, I found out about the registrant of the domain, that the domain was registered just little under a month ago. However, I can't find any information regarding this NAME or MJB, Inc.

Also, how the f*ck did he get my email address?!

I didn't receive that spam in my Cal Poly e-mail address. But I did receive a spam once on my school e-mail.

Maybe you can report it to the website administrator or webmaster if it continues. Not sure what they'll do.
And no idea how he got a hold of your school e-mail address.

vipz, I've edited your post due to personal information without the express permission of the individual.

There was a mystery shopper thing on Cal Poly last year or was it two years ago.
Several students were chosen to go to Bronco Bookstore and evaluate the customer service and other services.

But the email you received sounds like a spam mail.

[ak]

I received it too...

[Admin]

I just received one right now.
What the spammer is doing is going through the student search directory which can be found on csupomona.edu website.

I have replied saying that I am interested in the program. Can't wait.

[vipz]

Wow, KC, that's gonna be fun. I myself don't have the guts and time to go through all this, but I'd love to see how this turns out

[vipz]

Holy jebus, I just tried out the student search mechanism. All you need to do is to go through the search 26 times (a* - z*) and you have the a list of all students and their email address.

I always wondered why they had that feature available for all visitors. Should only allow registered Cal Poly students to access the information.

Not that I condone spam activities and what not, here is the info that I have received:
