Title: Scam Alert: You have been nominated for PhD Program at a leading US University
Post by: MyInfoStride on Jul 29, 2013, 08:57 AM
This is another scam to be aware of. I received the unsolicited message acclaimed to be from HeiFoundation <info@heifoundation.org> but alert, the reply message will go to HeiFoundation_bfaqgr_ieuynyl@cp20.com. This reply email has clearly indicated that it is a scam message. Perhaps, I did not subscribe for any PhD study information alert. Read the detailed message below and beware!
