The Chronicle of Higher Education reports that a new scam is going around campus. Apparently, students at Bucknell University, the University of Delaware, and other universities are receiving official-looking letters from Advanced Collection Services saying that the student has illegally downloaded material from Cayman Academic Resources, and that the student must pony up $500. Advanced Collection Services is an active debt collection agency, but Cayman Academic Resources is in bankruptcy. The letters being sent to students are nothing more than a scam.
