It seems more specific than random phishing. They are definitely targeting you in particular. My guess: someone wearing a tinfoil hat looking to entrap you into some sort of response that will look like you're open to a bribe from the CCP. Maybe you should inquire if the offer includes a "honeypot?"

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

I can't look - ok I'm going to look, but please have look at the "quick" virological post on indels. It's fleshed out A LOT but needs input. Proposed author list is a reverse of PO1 with delBL and addition of ProfBill [for fun] and a couple ofstudents who contributed to the Vero passage.

What do we reckon - a fishing attempt to hack my account? I am sure is a legit email: [shared file(s): image.png]

I hadn't thought of that - I was thinking more of the one I heard about where they give you a fake zoom or teams link which ends up giving them access to your system.

But actually the trying to get an incriminating email is an interesting thought. @Eddie Holmes, @Kristian Andersen did you get this?

I don't know man - enquire about the excellent honorarium first...
