Not exactly phishing, but...

One of my colleagues received a phone call -- 


claiming to represent ‘internet radio’ and wanting me (as a WSU faculty member) to participate in some project that was 
not clearly identified. When I suggested that he send a copy of the proposal so that the WSU legal people could have a 
look at it, he hung up. It might be useful to circulate a note to the faculty to the effect that offers of this sort 
might need to be checked out. 

Although this is not electronic, exactly, I've been asked by University Counsel whether this seems to be a one-off or 
whether this is a more general phishing campaign. Has anyone else seen this?
