the .crp files are located within a few pictures on the http://armcinc.biz.ly/ site. The extracted files can be found here

http://www.mediafire.com/?35l3vawhlag


as provided earlier by jabroni.


*ETA* franksturgis5 also contacted me today. I let him know what I found (at this point I only had decrypted the larger file in spanish)...his response

Quote:
I found the file within the image and just used your steps to uncode it. Mine was not in Spanish however (I used the file from the cuban flag.)

It is a pretty unsettling transcript. Sharon Lignite means nothing to me, but I am starting to think I may be in some serious trouble. Stay safe.


and another email:

Quote:
I just was phoned by the same woman who called me last week. She said I am running out of time. Someone needs to contact her!

What do you make of the last three lines?

Lov is it yomg
Sharon Lignite
A before E

And where is this blog? I only have minutes before I am getting back on the road.


I was getting lunch while this was sent and think I missed the opportunity to question further. I did send another email though.

Sharon Lignite could be a name, but both Sharon and Lignite are small towns in North Dakota. Lignite is also coal. Lov is it yomg? maybe Love is it young? I have no clue. A before E I have no clue on either. I mean I before E maybe, but A before E?

the 2 yuri paintings both had the same file in them.

Edit: Actually looking back at them now, the two yuri paintings had separate files. The cuban flag pic had the same. Going to run all three just in case...

Edit again: they are all the same.

Edit again again Very Happy Instead of I lost my keys, it now says

Ah crap! I was hoping nobody had noticed. I'm just trying to get into this, but I didn't really know what to do. I noticed the four symbols, and was going to post that it must be the keys, but you guys certainly handled it. Very Happy

Nice work, godson2k7! I am looking all this over, but can't see where to take it next. That blog found recently looks legit & in-game, although I'm not sure what to make of it. The name of the blogger is weird: AGAPE. That feels like a clue. The title is "Carpe Diem", popularly translated as "Seize the day", but more literally means "Gather the Day", according to Wikipedia.

Not getting anywhere with those last 3 lines. You can anagram the first or second line, but not into anything interesting. And we still have that error #, 46 93, which hasn't been important anywhere.

Its not just AgapE, its A. Gap. E. Are we supposed to "fill the gap?" Now that we found the blog, can we use it to ask "Her" questions directly?

Contact Information
If you are looking to contact a specific member of our team, please call and request an email or direct contact line.


Maybe we should email for the contact info for a "Sharon Lignite"... Maybe under the guise of a debt collector or employment verification? If she is the contact at ARMCinc we may be able to get a direct line to her... Rolling Eyes

Lov is it yomg/ Sharon Lignite/A before E

there could be an error in this line:

Lov is it yomg

if you add a B and a G you get:
Go Visit My Blog

or if you change one of the Os to a B you get:
Visit My Blog
--------------------------------------------
Sharon Lignite definitely think this is our contact person at ARCM
--------------------------------------------
A before E definitely think this is Agape, Sharon's blogger ID. (greek for love!)
