Subject:  Article on telemarketing scams now in the _Chronicle of Higher 
Education_

we are too familiar with:

COLLEGE LIBRARIES AND ACADEMIC DEPARTMENTS around the country
   have recently been hit with a new type of telemarketing scam.
   In a typical case, a telemarketer calls during off hours, in
   hopes of reaching a lower-level employee, and says he needs
   to confirm an address. But after the address is confirmed,
   the telemarketer says, "So this is where we should send the
   directory?" If the library employee says yes, the library
   will get a bill.
