Here are the latest updates for nurhasaan10@gmail.com "Free Technology for Teachers" - 2 new articlesPickles, Popcorn, and More Food Science What Are Pickles? is the latest food science video produced by SciShow Kids. They've previously released others about the science of popcorn, the science of cake, and where bananas come from. They also have a compilation video called You Are What You Eat. What Are Pickles? explains the process of creating pickles with cucumbers and what happens to the cucumber as a result of the pickling process.

I did a search on Twitter and quickly found a few others who came to the same conclusion that I did. Shawna Newman was the recipient of the same scam email back in February. Apparently, when she called them out on it they changed the address on their website from New York to Boston. Here's her Tweet about it. Ray Alexander got the same scam email and took the approach that I did. He wrote a lengthy blog post detailing how he unraveled the scam. Here's his Tweet and here's his blog post. Ben Dickson also received the email and decided to publish an unraveling of the scam. Here's his Twitter thread on the topic. Lessons for Everyone1. Don't be a lame SEO backlink scammer. 2. If you do get an email from someone claiming to be an attorney (or similarly tries to appear authoritative) and it doesn't seem right, look at all of the context clues. In this case there were a lot of context clues that made it fairly obvious that there was a scam at play.
