They caught my eye because the URL provided is a .edu URL, which means it’s an address of an educational institution. And well, I checked salisbury.edu to check whether it is a fake, and turned out it’s a real university.

I already sent him an e-mail informing this (there is a possibility he’s been infected by a virus/spyware anyway). Wonder what will he reply..

We’ll see.
