I’ve received some odd emails since Sept. 03 from a guy named ‘Curtis’. I don’t really want to write about this because I know they want me to and I don’t want to become a source of free advertising. The emails are personal, they mentioned my name and the name of one of my blog friends. It seems that I’m not the only one receiving these emails although all seem somewhat different. Meaning that someone is reading certain blogs out there on certain topics and putting a lot of effort in contacting each and every person linked to that blog.
Of course I did what was obvious: google search, IP and domain check, but they’re clever! I found out that most people who had received something similar are somehow related to design, London and the internet. The emails are cryptic and ask you to do certain things in order to get clues. I ignored them until I got fed up after the fourth and so I sent a reply to tell the person that I was not interested in playing games. To my surprise I received another [ignoring my reply] with a password and login to their website and I’m now officially ‘their secret agent’.
One email told me to check the classifieds on page 4o of a certain London newspaper. It’s an add about Buckm1nster/Dy m ax ion, a B1-Lanc3r and a telephone number, people rang the number but all you hear are hisses and someone screaming. From there you have to use the info found on websites to get more clues. There are some theories to be found online about the mystery of these emails. Some say it’s some kind of promotional thing that will take place next week, according to an email I should be ready for action: 18:45, 24/09/08…
Typos in this post are made on purpose because some of these words are used as keywords by this mysterious organisation to find those involved through Google and I’m sorry but I don’t do free SEO hence my changes in names etc. I know you guys are out there reading this, so to Mr. Curtis or the syndicate: if you would offer me a design job then yes; that might draw my undivided attention. Although intrigued, I’m kind of busy and if you would genuinely be interested you could’ve read about my activities on here and my reasons why I am this busy…

The next clue… Mission accomplished and aborted (?)
