This looks interesting, in a Bourne Identity kind of way. I'll join the fray. I sent a friend request with my existing myspace account. I'll post copies of the blog for those that don't have/want a Myspace account as soon as I can see them.
EDIT: So Abdul and Paula have been identified, and I'm The Junta if/when he accepts the invite. Who are Kris and Eric?
EDIT 2: Okay, I'm able to see his blog post.

The task at hand.
Current mood: pessimistic
Well, here we go. I trust Mr. *** (I can't give you his real name) has contacted you. He, doesn't know who he is! He will soon discover that his life has been turned upside down, but this has absolutely nothing to do with me of course, and even if it did, you have no proof.
Then immediately following that is the this image (link provided because the image is large).

Then following the image is this:

Keep your eyes peeled.
I'm considering leaving a message to dig further, but I'm at work and don't have time to think of what to ask. And by the tone of the blog post, it sounds like he may not be on exactly friendly terms with our mysterious amnesia man. Although it sounds like he might now his name. If someone can, perhaps notify our Mr. *** about the page. Maybe it'll jog his memory.

i'm pretty sure that our friend lucien knows the "amnesiac" man name...
on more he is a millionaire so maybe the 20000 pounds are from him....
maybe the last phrase "keep your eyes peeled" is a clue to solve the image but i can't figure it out for now....
i chatted with "angelo" (i asked how i have to call him and he says that ronny is fine....) and told him about the blog entry....
he seems a little scared....
on more i let him see the image, to know if that means somenthing to him but nothing.......

I'm curious about the significance of B.A.B. A quick google search turns up that BAB was a prophet who announced the coming of God. Check out Lucians1's favorite movies: The Omen and Bedazzled. Both movies about incarnations of the devil.
I'm still looking over the image. The first character is the Latin character for "A", but I'm thinking it's more just a strange font for the modern alphabet. There's definitely 2 sentences in the image, though.

Indeed. Each symbol represents one of the 26 spaces on this grid:
In turn, each space represents a letter. The problem is, we don't know which letter goes where. I tried simply putting the alphabet across from left to right, top row to bottom row, but it didn't work out. Any other ideas?
EDIT: Just found the standard pigpen code. It wasn't what I thought, but regardless, it didn't work either.
EDIT2:Found another version, it works this time. It reads as follows:

How sinister.

Yeah, tried that too, tried a few variations; nadda. I'll try a bit more later
Also, maybe I'm being paranoid but does just seeing the words "the Omen" on the page make you think of the failed trailhead "the 0m3n"? Which I just happened to get contacted for as well...
Also, it may be a reach, but the BAB could be a part of a Baconian Cipher

Good job. I sent a message to Lucian before the puzzle was solved. I asked
Quote:
Why do you suspect Mr. *** to have contacted me, and why can't you reveal his name? Does he know you?
He replied
Quote:
He does not know me. You will discover the answer to all your questions when you solve it.
By that time, you posted the text of the image, which I sent back to him in a reply. We'll see what happens.
EDIT: Looks like it was already sent. Oh well.
EDIT 2: "More will come soon" is all he had to say.
*sits back in his reclining chair and waits*

I am Kris. Just looked into this this morning. Would love if this was a good one from the ground up.
I have been trying to find anything regarding the names, will continue my digging.

I'm Cthulhu, by the way. I sent him a bunch of questions, but the only response I got was,
