Our spamtraps received what we think must be a spam from a recognized university in Europe, advertising a summer school of theirs. So we wrote to the professor to ask “How did you build this address list?”, as you would…
\n<\/p>\n
We received a response very soon. We are not naming the people involved yet. We’re waiting for the position of the University first, before naming, and before listing. But here’s the response from Prof. We will allow it to stand on its own without any comments.<\/p>\n
\r\nSubject: The false moralists\r\n\r\nDear Sir,\r\nfirst of all qualify yourself with first and last name. I would like\r\nto know who is the person I am talking to.\r\nSecondly who gave you the right to inquire about our institution which\r\nis,no-profit, worldwide known as one of the best summer school in the\r\n[BRANCH OF SCIENCE] scientific community?\r\nThe addresses we used belong to institutions\r\nemployees,students,scientists and researchers which are potential\r\nparticipants of our summer schools. Could you give us a single address\r\nwhich does not fall in this category?\r\nIn more than 20 years of activity our institution has given the\r\nopportunity to young resaerchers of the [GEOGRAPHIC REGION] and to other\r\nstudents coming from disadvantaged regions to contact eminent\r\nscientists (including Nobel Prizes) at very affordable costs.\r\nThe human history shows that even the most generous activities have\r\nfound oppostion in the so called false \"moralists\"!\r\nI am sorry for you but we go ahead in our activity.\r\nBest wishes\r\nFIRSTNAME LASTNAME\r\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Our spamtraps received what we think must be a spam from a recognized university in Europe, advertising a summer school of theirs.
