A few days ago, I got this PM from someone from the "University of Indiana". It was someone asking me to participate in a study for adolescents with high functioning autism, they said so something about a skype interview, and they left an email address. I didn't reply to it. Did anyone else get this? Is this a scammer, or something I should be concerned about?

that seems awfully specific. if you would otherwise participate in the study, possibly make an alternate skype just to be safe?
