 		Landau, Luckman, and Lake e-mail
Another game is afoot, and the "rabbit hole" is being personally delivered, instead of directly to us gamers.

If you are getting a piece of it, a member of the community will contact you and send you your e-mail. He swears that he was asked to pass out the information, without revealing any e-mail header information. So he's not a shill or a PM, just a messenger.

I got my e-mail/attachments this morning.

Attachment 1: A pdf address to me, content as follows
Quote:
Landau, Luckman, and Lake
1775 Sherman Street, Suite 2350
Denver Colorado, 80203

Dear Sir,
We are in search of contact and address information for the following chat nickname
"sapagoo" on an Internet Relay Chat server for chat-solutions.org. We hope after many
attempts we have found the correct person using this nickname. Per the instructions in the
package that dates back to the original founders of our law firm, we are legally bound to
try and deliver this information to you. Over the years we've had to copy the information
from different mediums to the one we are sending to you today.
Our information technology support group has assured us that you should have no
problem listening to these files. If you do please contact us immediately and we will try
and reformat the files for listening.
Please do not contact us for information regarding this client, as we do not have any
information for public consumption.
Sincerely,
Stephen Lake
Attorney at Law


And I also got a mp3 file titled it.mp3.
The mp3 has a bunch of dial tones.
I converted the mp3 to wav, and ran the wav through a DMTF decoder and got "0814403948 pause 0679444815 ". I give no warranties as to its accuracy.

If you also got an e-mail, post the info here.

 		since "j" is the tenth letter of the alphabet and there are no letters higher than j in these strings, I would assume that they could be translated as:
if a=0: 0679444815 0486227812
if a=1: 1780555926 1597228923 (10=j=0)

Now to compare them to the numbers that sapagoo received.

-Jim

 		Sap's numbers:
0814403948
0679444815
gupfee's numbers:
0679444815
0486227812

Look's like we should expect the list to continue.

Jim

p.s. and it looks like a=0.

That wasn't so hard. Since that was groups of 16 letters, and we were looking for 10 digit numbers, it was obviously not a 1-1 code.
So I went searching for a BASE64 converter.

found one here.
http://www.robertgraham.com/tools/base64coder.html

copied in the text, pressed decode, and

MDgxNDQwMzk0OA0K MDY3OTQ0NDgxNQ0K --- MDgxNDQwMzk0OA0K MDUyNTk0NjY0MA0K

becomes
0814403948
0679444815
0814403948
0525946640

1885928084
0817642846

I did the same thing to your mp3.
and got 4 of the ten digit numbers.

0131014005
0804115486
0804115486
0782129447

all these 10 digit numbers. maybe when we collect them all, we can add them all together to get a valid 10 digit phone number.

 		I just received a PDF...
Mine's a PDF only, no MP3 file. Contained the following code text:

bijchegacg aiaebbfeig aahbdfhedc ajdicjaai


UPDATE: One detail to note in the PDF is that mine is specifically tagged to irc.collectivedetective.org

Wonder if there are duplicate sets?

Well, if you're playing with dialpads, anyway.

242 is the Bahamas.
245 is unused
224 is in Illinois
253 is in Tacoma WA, area.
