Fake Journal Publishing Scam (this time not from IEEE but from
ELSEVIER)

Fake Journal Publishing Scam Here is an interesting scam that I hadn't
seen before. Someone is sending out mail purportedly from the academic
publisher Elsevier soliciting professors to submit papers to vaguely
described journals. The scam is apparently that your paper gets
"accepted" and then you are asked to pay "processing fees", which go
to the scammers without any article ever appearing anywhere.
Then again, anyone who could be fooled by the ridiculous message below
probably deserves what they get.
