Email from Derek Bees
Forewarned is Forearmed, apparently

I can't believe I'm the first person to post this, but I tried searching for his name, the numbers he gave, etc. and I'm not finding anything, so here we go!


I received the following email today:

Quote:
Hey Buddy

Got your email address from a friend of yours
(238, 130, 238), I'm running into some trouble with W and I might need to hit you up for some help soon, forewarned is forearmed so keep your eyes peeled. You never know....


It came from Derek Bees (derekbeesSPLATgooglemail.com).

Any ideas?

Ah, thanks to the kind person who just PM'ed me, I learned that if you put the name in the keyword search you get results for it, but not so much in the "google sponsored search", even when this domain is checked.

Don't worry, I got it. Wink

 NOT Ketsui Chan

I confirmed with the PM of Ketsui Chan that this is NOT part of that....

Google/uF forums search bring up nothing but links for the old monster Arg....

Well, if it isn't part of Ketsui Chan, they have the same mailing list. In and among the recipients is:

commentsSPLATwhitehouse.gov
webmasterSPLATusdoj.gov (Webmaster of the United States Department of Justice)
vice_presidentSPLATwhitehouse.gov
cultureandartsSPLATsanbruno.ca.gov (Culture and Arts Commission of the City of San Bruno, California)

...also noticed he's sending to some online comics, such as XKCD and PvP:

daveanSPLATxkcd.com
kurtzSPLATpvponline.com

..and "southredford,net" is all over this list.

If you're so "buddy buddy" with the PM for Ketsui Chan, I *highly* suggest you ask him where this mailing list came from. It didn't come from thin air.

I haven't had a chance to go through and check every email address, but I'm guessing the mailing list comes, at least in part, from here

I got this as well and if it isn't part of Ketsui Chan, maybe I shouldn't have deleted it. :p

After doing an unFitcion search, the only threads where those e-mails appear are here, and Ketsui Chan. They didn't pull up anything from the interaction thread. So I have no idea where the government e-mails are coming from, but I don't think they are contacts that unFictioners listed themselves.

If the PM for Derek Bees got the trailhead for Ketsui Chan, it's possible DB could have taken all the emails from KM.

This makes me worry, though. W is a nickname for president Bush. Maybe we shouldn't be touching this one. Whatever happened may have gotten us some attention from, er... "interesting" people.

I don't want to see anyone labeled a terrorist.

Emails can be falsified...

There's nothing to say that those whitehouse email addies are real.

But on the same level IF a gov't official were to see them it could be treading on thin ice.
