Hello all!
We are a group of cybersecurity researchers from Louisiana State University (LSU) in the US and University of Bristol in the UK. We are conducting research on scam baiting and are looking for your help to participate in an interview. If you have experience with scam baiting are interested in helping us out, can you please fill out this quick screening form and distribute it to others: Microsoft Forms . If you are selected for an online interview, we will compensate you for your time by paying you $30 USD. If you prefer, you can also stay anonymous during this process (by turning off your video) and giving us a pseudonym or fake name. We need 30 such participants! Please help us in this.
Our ultimate goal is to develop an automated scam-baiting system using specialized AI-based technologies that can greatly help in defending against scam activities. Further, we want to enable this to directly feed forensically valuable information to law enforcement agencies. We are collaborating with law enforcement agencies in the US. Security-oriented agencies such as the DHS (Department of Homeland Security) have also shown interest in this research direction and we are currently seeking funding to scale up or efforts.
