Freaky Email!

Hi everyone. I'm not even sure what this forum is about, but I posted something about a weird email I had received, and i was told to post it here since you guys might be able to help me.

The title of the email was, "Care to play a game?" and then when I clicked on it the message said, "Care to play a game? It's simple. Guess who I am." And then at the bottom there was something that said "Highlight", since there was white text and it wanted me to highlight it so I could read it. After I highlighted it I noticed it said, " I am someone you see, but do not know."

Normally my first reaction was that it was stupid chain mail, but I was the only person it was sent to that I know of, it wasn't forwarded at least. And so then I assumed it was just some junk mail, but I looked at the email address and it was a yahoo account, and yahoo had confirmed that it was sent through yahoo.

It could be a chain letter or something by some one who disguised it, I dunno. Still, I would like to know for sure. There were some "stalker" guys at my work, but they wouldn't have been able to get my email address, nobody at my work even knows my personal email.

I'm hoping it's just a chain letter or something though.

Could you please post the message and its headers here for us to see? The sender's information and suchlike. That's not a lot to work from.

Agreed. We might be able to work on it, but we'll need more information.

Ok, here is the email:

Title: "Care to play a game?"

"Time To Play A Game. It is simple, guess who I am. Care to play.

Highlight-> I am someone you see, but do not know."

The "I am someone you see, but do not know" was written in white text, so I had to highlight it. The person who sent the email was

raivyn81(a)yahoo.com.

I sent an email with the answer, stranger. I got this in return


A Stranger once said, " I am not who I appear to be, but a shadow of what I once was is still left in me."

I sent an email back to the person and guessed who they were, then I got this reply:

"So I assume your going to play? Very well. Here is a clue.


"One by one, the people fall
As they did through the halls
of time and being in itself
and fell the book from the shelf"'

I do believe I know his whereabouts, I have most if not all his personal info, though I must confirm it before I post what to do about it, I have a fairly limited expierience in this field but I do know how to keep track of them, as for the puzzle, a quick glance is that it is numerically based, though deciphering it is just what he wants, if it is indeed the act of one person...it looks like it though

You know his personal info? Could you send it to me? I think it might be a fiend playing a trick on me, I dunno. Confused

Well I'm also seeing who on the forums might be in relation to my info, also if it is a spam riddle it might be simply a random area, so I'm gonna make sure first, then I'll send you everything

Well I did a myspace search on him and we live in the same town. I have no idea how he got my email either. I just moved here a couple months ago and I haven't told barely anyone my email address.

If I could get this guys name it would help loads though! There's still a possibility that it's some one from church playing a trick on me. The only people that know my email address (that I know of) are at my church.

I'd just like to add in here:

If this is the PM or a friend of the PM for a new ARG, please read the rules for these forums. You're allowed one post to bring attention, and no other interactions.

If you just happen to be a new person who suddenly got this mail and wanted to let people on this particular forum know, then carry on....

She's the latter and she's just looking for help. She was told to go to this site from help, turning her away wouldn't be a chivalrous act.
