[MELTDOWN] Gypsysoft

ARGN just got the attached letter. I'd transcribe, but that wouldn't be any fun.

Aaaaaaahhhhh!!! The good looking ARGs they come at me, full force!! How I am supposed to play this, and Argtalk, and Carer? *tears her hair out from happiness*

Anyway, could be another Matrix themed ARG as 6215583br reminds me of er... that robots whose name will never be forgotten. You know, from second renaisance. B166er, or whatever. Anyway, wild spec. Um, Lieutentant Saevitia on duty! Searching for clues!

I'll play this one i think... But it's late and the only thing I noticed was the sort of rubbed off semi visible ink at the end of the second letter. Turns out it's just the top half of the letter printing on from when the paper was folded.

The return address on the letter for ARGN was reverse-WHOIS'd and yielded a phone number. Here's the voice mail message.

Enaxor found a site called http://gypsybeta.com.

http://www.whois.sc/gypsybeta.com

The registrant of the site is bobbySPLATgotschmaltz.com.

http://www.whois.sc/gotschmaltz.com

The address for that site registration matches the return address that was on the letter Steve got:

5:37:32:<vpisteve> GypsySoft
5:37:38:<vpisteve> 1538 Woodland Dr.
5:37:46:<vpisteve> Ashland, OR 97520

Hello.
A friend of mine recently received a mysterious letter from Gypsysoft, and from running checks on the return address listed, we came across this email address.

The letter mentioned somebody who said "I'm going to die" and asked for help. Do you know anything about this?

We would really love to help you out here.

Lewis

Looks exciting, I think I'll have a go at this too.

Hopefully this isn't just a teaser for something that starts on 28th Very Happy

Actually, the .png doesn't specify AM or PM... just "6 PDT"...

Also, along with our Russian, we need to brush up on our "trope" - defined in Wikipedia as "a play on words".
