 		Hi!
Quote:
OK, tell anyone else interested in helping to alert me of how they know me please, my current situation is very stressful as I am in hiding.

I am a former employee of Allied Resource Management Consolidation Incorporated, an investing firm I think is serving as a front to a conspiracy. I worked for them for three years out of my home office on account of a sickness I have that prevents me from being able to spend long hours working without breaks. During my entire tenure I never met any clients or employees of the company in person except the CEO, Thomas Lodginson. I started getting suspicious of the company because of their bizarre business practices- there seemed almost no clients, their website is a joke, they never answer their phones, and despite this they have an almost unlimited amount of financial resources. Furthermore, I did light accounting for them and started monitoring their funds- there is a seemingly endless amount of money pouring in.

My curiosity got the better of me and I breached beyond my restriction on their database. I came onto scores of files regarding missing persons, blood money, and in particular, a man named Frank Sturgis. I researched him and he had his hands in a whole mess conspiracies, and he is dead! I made this email address along with a few others to shake the trail of information and am trying to get help against the company. I am currently in hiding after traveling across the country, but I don't know how long I can hold out without being discovered. Their website is armcinc.biz.ly but it is not linked to their databases and isn't even its own domain.

As I was telling your friend, if someone can contact the company and find some holes, we might actually make some ground on them, but as it stands, my time is short.

I have a number of aliases that I may contact you from in case this one is compromised, but let me know your findings on the site.


message from our friend, my guess is you wont be able to get them involved with investing your funds, since they have that endless supply of cash, BUT i did ask him for what he put on his resume, what got him hired in the first place, this way all we have to do is edit a little, and HOPEFULLY we can gain more access.

 		^ Yay!

Humm....after looking at the pics on the Error 46 93 page i noticed that one of the green captions was

Watergate? Kennedy? Investigate Furrther^^%^%$!


The pic above it has six images and the last random (or maybe not so random) characters amount to six to. I don't know about you but usually for me "^" means look at above post. Could someone have been pointing to the first two pics on the top row and first on on bottom row?

When I applied I sent in a pretty standard business resume, I was fresh out of college.

I don't know anything about that picture, ARMC has never had more than those three pages in all my time there. I believe the site passwords have been taken and someone else posted the new stuff, I doubt ARMC would upload that kind of thing on their own.

And I believe my location may be compromised- I don't know when I can get back to you.


I guess we just wait for a resume to be accepted now.

Mr. Orosco:

While we are sorry you feel as if you have been mistreated, thousands of applicants are rejected every year for a variety of reasons. Regardless of how qualified one may find themselves, the final decision for investing lies within our company.

We hope you understand, and if you have any further concerns please call us and we are sure your problems will be addressed.

Regards,

 		I called ARMCInc. earlier about opening an invest account for $25,000 and left my name an number with them. They just called back saying I will have to raise my account to at least $125,000. I said I would and they said the CEO will call me back within the hour. This is the first phone call I've ever made for an ARG. I tried to act professional on the phone but I found myself still using words like "yep" and "k". Would the pms interact with me less or even disregard me completely if I don't sound professional?

 		Sent a resume
I wanted to jump in - it is rare to get in on the beginning of something and not have to catch up too much. I just sent in a resume for the database maintenance job. Will see what we get back if anything. Also, emailed frank for more info and e mailed remsyata address which was returned undeliverable. No replies on anything yet.

Don't worry about it. Just act natural and you should do fine. If they PMs are calling people then they want interaction. A few "yep"s and "k"s won't hurt anything

I ran stegcrack on that image using pretty much all the words in the english language (I'll give you my dict file if you want) and it didn't work Sad


I reproduced your work, without any luck. I confirmed that StegDetect reports a 3-star (high confidence level, I think) chance that the picture of the canal that was briefly on the website (f157bcbd.jpg) has embedded stenographic content. I tried using JPSEEK on it, which requires a passphrase. I tried a few obvious guesses like f157bcbd, venice, Sturgis, and FrankSturgis. Then I ran StegBreak with a 37 million word dictionary file (dic-0294.txt) and default "rules". Like you, found nothing. If anyone wants to mess with this approach further, everything can be googled & downloaded easily enough. I couldn't find a StenDetect version higher than 0.4 compiled for Windows.

This is my first time using these tools - how likely is it that it's just a false positive?

I also tried to find to find the matching image on the net. I searched for 'venice' using Google Images, Flickr, and stock.excng. No luck, although there are many shots that are very similar, and I'm 95% certain the shot *was* taken in Venice (Italy).

None of the 8 images of F. Sturgis on the web now test positive for sten. The large version of where he has the rifle gives a weird error though: "not a RGB image". I don't suppose that's an indication of tampering, is it?

 		Hey everyone... I sent in a resume last night just to see what would happen.

I'm kind of a chicken though I don't know nearly as much about computer engineering as my resume says.. Embarassed
