Lately we've been getting a rash of scam emails claiming to be from a Three Letter Bureau. Several of the users have asked about them, so our network admin sent an example with instructions to ignore and delete them. I found the following in my inbox this morning:
FW: TLB case ID 12345
From: Sysadmin
To: Buffalo

Thanks,

I wonder if it's difficult being a vice president without being able to read.
