Has anyone received this email; is it a scam?

I would like to set up a brief call to explore having you or someone from your organization join the Advisory Board for the University of California, Irvine, Division of Continuing Education Customer Experience Certificate Program. Membership on the Advisory Board is by invitation only, based upon your personal and professional accomplishments.

I, unfortunately, went farther and actually spoke to them. They want me to get my company to pay for me to be in the program while I "advise" the very same program. They are asserting its already been approved.

I got this also. Thanks to those of you who saved me from wasting my time. If I don’t need an extended warranty on my car, I certainly don’t need to sit through a sales pitch to enrich a university’s credentialing program.

That’s gotta be a scam. I assume anything that says “you or someone from your organization” is either scam or spam.

Nope, so I’m guessing it’s a scam

Just look at who sent it… If it’s some random email, then likely spam.

It’s a person with a .edu address; I’ve just never heard of this before

I read an interesting post on reddit about this. I know this post here is old, but I know someone who recently accepted the Advisory Board "position" and has offered me a discount for a leadership certificate program and am finding interesting info out there. If you come upon this and are interested, search reddit for "What the heck is ZSchool".

On the topic of intimacy with partners… I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 years and the past year his libido has dropped to zero. Mostly due to work stress (he says). Whenever I try to initiate, he always shuts me down and says he’s not in the mood. I even touch him and he gets hard but stops me as soon as I try to unzip him. We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

Aside from letting people know I'm available and doing pro-bono/CLE, it's starting to feel like a serious "covidcation" leading to termination.

I’ve made it to the 3rd round interviewing at three different firms over the past month, and the feedback I’m getting has all been very similar: they think I’m really great, but it’s not the right time.

Should I be reading between the lines (if so what does it mean?) or pressing harder for more detailed feedback?
