Phishing emails purporting to come for financial institutions and others have long been an unfortunate fact of life for consumers (for a reports of phishing emails supposed to be from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, go here, and the concept of phishing has even shown up in the title of a book by two Nobel Prize winners). But I have now heard of such emails claiming to be sent by a law school dean. I haven't seen the actual emails, so I'm not sure how the scammer intended to benefit from impersonating a dean but apparently they exist.
