Yeah, this is true.
Ringing it and asking whoever answers still seems the best way. I've never heard of a phonebox that you can't ring or is muted when rang, i think you may have just been unlucky and happened to get an idiot on the other end of the phone, lol.

Dusty tweeted about a phonebox - she's been sent this image:

Any ideas? It's not the one by the Bowery and looks like a central London box - maybe near soho? It looks like that sort of street.

Edit - she's posted that it's on James Street - just round the corner from HMV Oxford street.

I would, and normally could, but need to be elsewhere for an unmovable appointment with the council. I'm hoping Crescent can save our souls.

I'm sure you've seen his comment, but the Wrach says there are two boxes on that street and the one he needs is at the Wigmore end.

OK - Crescent is in place and about to make the call.... He has spotted someone rather familiar looking across the road in a cafe, so this could get quite exciting.

Edit 1: Contact has been made - They called him! He's calling back now to see if anything happens...

Edit 2: Crescent has met and spoken to Dusty - She's in a huge amount of trouble, it seems. When he called the number back, he was informed that the boy had already been saved, but he managed to get some more information. It seems this is much bigger than we first thought.

Edit 3: Crescent has been given IOUIDO 3.6 by Dusty. It reads as follows:

IOUIDO 3.6

I'm more powerful than your God.
I'm more evil than your devil.
Only the innocent know me.
But the rich need me.
If you eat me, you'll die.
What am I?

answer @viralagency.com to unlock IOUIDO 3.7



soooo - I've emailed the answer....

edit 4: Crescent says "Approached phone box - nothing hidden inside. Checked environment, noticed someone looking like Dusty at Cafe opposite. Image to follow. Went into phonebox at 5 past 11, and phone rang. Male English voice; "What shall we do with the boy?" My response - Let him go, he's done nothing. "Ahhh, weakness. But, we shall do that." myResponse (suddenly thinking we need to keep him onboard) Yes, but then follow him. This way he lives in fear and you can continue your story. "Ahh. Yes, that sounds good. Across the road is a woman in a blue hat. Go to her – she has something for you". I said thank you, and hung up.
Approached woman and asked her if the table next to her was taken. She said no and I sat down. She looked very much like Dusty. I asked her if she was OK. She said "I have to give you this as they have a woman and will kill her if I don't. Do not open it until I have left. I have to take a picture of you, and a picture of us together, to prove that we met." (I thought this was a nice touch) She took photos. While this was going on, I wrote my mobile number and "are you in trouble?" on my newspaper. As she left, I offered her the paper and she took it. It was now 11:09. I went back to the phonebox as I still had a phonecall to make.
At 11:11 I called the number. It rang for a while and then the same male voice picked up and asked who it was. (smiling at putting a false voice on) I replied "Hi, it's john, I'm worried about a boy and was told to phone this number." They said – "John, John, John. You're too late. Someone has already saved the boy." I said that it was only just 11:11. "John. It's OK. The boy has been saved." I reverted to my normal voice – Yes I know. "Wait a moment.... (smiling, it sounded) Yes?" I'm worried about the others. There was a boy, and now a woman, in trouble. How do I know you'll keep your word? (He laughed and laughed and laughed, very evil) "You don't. We are many, and many are in trouble." I said, thank you for letting us help and we will continue to watch. (just remembered – earlier when asked what to call him he had said he had many names).
I then asked who are the boy and woman to you? And he said "The boy and woman – the walkers in the crags. We have to change them." (I think it was change – it may have been save)
Crescent then went into the cafe and had a coffee, doing a bit more research about Dusty from the people who worked there. They said she'd come in and had seemed cheery, but after she had a phone call seemed distressed and went to sit outside. He's taken pictures of everything he can find, and is posting them up later.
Good work, sir!

I think I know the answer. Did you make a guess at it?

EDIT: Sounds like such an adventure! Thanks for reporting back everything happened. Can't wait to have a look at the pictures. Very Happy

Just received in my inbox

IOUIDO 3.7

The Wrach means Witch or Hag in Welsh.
And now we are many, old and new.
Created by two.
They were poor souls lost for NOTHING.
We now have a woman she must die.
The spirits of The Wrach they tell us why.

There is a box hidden in Llangollen.
Use the boy, he is your puppet now.
You have 1 month from today to find the box,
and save the woman.

The Wrach.

So the date mentioned in the Youtube video (March 11, 2011) is the date that has to be met to find the box.

Also, maybe I'm just losing it, but did anyone else see something beyond the trees at the beginning of the video? Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about, but go back and take a look if you didn't notice it. The top of it looks like it might be just dark clouds, but the farther down you go the more it looks like a huge solid object.
