Seminary Computing Services

This is a reasonably well exexuted scam, marred by a few blunders (and, of course, the cardinal sin of asking you to send them your password and personal information via email!). Yes, they really did duplicate the message twice, and yes, they really did put the "Easy Work, Great Pay, Start Today!" line in there (I guess spamming is pretty easy work...). Note that Tasntec seems to be a real, legitimate company in the UK; their name is just used by the scammers to add credibility. As always, real communications from SCS or ECS will use real @earlham.edu or @bethanyseminary.edu addreses, and we will never, ever ask for your password - if we really need it, we can reset it ourselves!
