CITY
ALAMOGORDO
ALBUQUERQUE
CARLSBAD
CLOVIS
FARMINGTON
GALLUP
HOBBS
LAS CRUCES
RIO RANCHO

This is SCREAMMMMMMMMMMING ARG at me....


I received a phone call from this number on the same day 01/09/2006. I am not sure who it is either. I am not going to be calling the person back though. If they don't leave a message, they must not want to talk to me.

505 is the area code for the entire state of New Mexico (I live here. It wasn't me that called). I tried the number with no luck.

Of course, with VOIP... who can say.

Anyway, just another contact in NM if you're looking.

I just wanted to point out that you can narrow it down to a city or region by using the next 3-digit exchange and not just the area code. Also, FoneFinder tells me that it is a Wireless service, which means that you might be calling someone's cell phone if you return the call.

 		 Possible trailhead?
I received this e-mail message on: Sat, 13 Jan 2007, at: 11:15:18 AM
Greetings!

I received the following e-mail message with this in the body:


Core:

>Output.

The subject of the message was: "coreoutput2".

The message was from "core@subject180287.net" and it was sent to coreoutputSPLAT89642-app8.streamline.net, GroupSPLAT89642-app8.streamline.net. Neither of these were my e-mail addresses?

What is this? I have attached the video.

-Hudey

(moderator shortening the attachment title, as it made the page scroll too wide -- it said "If you just click it, it will not play" but i clicked on the download button and it opened my media player just fine -- catherwood)

I see that it says, "Lost, Erwin." There is a currently running game in which the word 'erwin' replaced 'hazel' for a clue -- searching now -- so i suspect you've received this from a game, whether you're playing it or not.

Oh, and the video also says lostyourpet.net in a circle. Did you happen to see that we do have a thread for that game? (searching now)

Ah yes, you're now playing Geist :)

 		Apologies
Hello,

I'm sorry to say that I didn't check the forums. I wonder how these people gained possession of my e-mail address since I am not playing this game.

 		I just received the same email (and was totally wary of opening mysterious files), but if you say it's from Geist (which I'm playing), it must be ok.

 		I think geist mined our profiles here. Because I never signed up for anything but did get an email about the pregame.

I can confirm that all New Mexico numbers (until they change them, there is a plan to add a new area code) are 505. And another New Mexico person here, hee.

Message from a savior
This came in a few days ago and just now did I have the chance to check it.

Quote:

Join me.

Interesting, non? Perhaps this belongs to another ARG, or is just some spammer, but it's still intriguing. Especially since I haven't been involved in an ARG since the beginning of Sammeeees. Also, it seems as though I am the only person to receive it, so it wasn't sent to a large number of ARGers.

I sent a reply ("Yes? Tell me more") so we'll see where that goes.

also, the first email I got had the weird underlining too, I forgot to include it

 		and another...

Quote:
I have shared the page with you already.
In fact, I have shared two pages with you.
I know what you must be thinking,
And the word page does not refer to the pages of text I have sent you.
But those texts do contain the page.

Do you still not understand where it is presented?
Perhaps you will soon have an epiphany
And the answer will click. Just like that.
Isn't that how we solve most problems anyway?

-A Savior


Do you think this warrants it's own thread?
