Phish Bowl Alerts
An unusual phishing ploy that is part piano scam. Like that one, an individual is looking for a good home for her late father's prized possessions. This variation is supposedly shared by Brown's president, though using a mismatched Gmail address (standard for these) and referring those interested to a different address (also non-Brown).
