I can clueless.

O.o

The weird thing is, it reads like she probably made it through the account activation, which is what most people can't figure out for themselves. We'll probably throw all the form answers at her and tell her to pick and choose around what she's already tried.

I've gotten the same thing from scammers.

[kait-the-great.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the email address she used is really sketchy. I wonder if we should warn the student with that student number.

Yes.

Oh, and in case it isn't clear, we didn't send the scammer any info. We told them how to reset the password themselves using their other university password.

Excellent, it wasn't clear, but that's what I figured. ;)

Yep, I'd say that's a phishing expedition...
