grambi Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Hello I recieved this mail today from someone claiming to be from here --This message was sent through http://www.geocaching.com -- hello grambi, bigarm here.. bigmar here.. bigram here.. grampus?? gramarye??? 10.40=50 vowl/constant separation odds/evens placements gr.ambition.. condensated.. milebi unitbi footbi User's Profile: http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=6d...62-4f8c12e273ae Im not even sure what it means. Has anyone else recieved anything similar? Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 No on receiving someting similar - it looks like an attempt to give you help on a puzzle cache? You DNF one lately? I can't see your DNFs, so that's just a guess. That the sender isn't the owner of a puzzle cache makes it a bit annoying. Assuming it to be a benign attempt to help with some encryption problem, it's not appropriate for someone other than the owner to spontaneously offer something. Heck, even the owner ought to ask first. And it may have nothing to do with caching, I'm not offering to work it out. Quote Link to comment
+garri Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 The account who sent your email was created yesterday, maybe just for sent strange mails throught gc.com? It is like a Sock puppet. Quote Link to comment
+Jester2112 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Sounds like one of those stupid spam emails to me. Don't reply to it or you may never get rid of them! Quote Link to comment
+Yamahammer Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Report it to GC/Groundspeak. Quote Link to comment
+Thot Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Do what Yamahammer said. Quote Link to comment

+Car54 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 The first part of the e-mail seems to be some anagrams/re-arrangements of grambi's name. Just a thought. Mrs. Car54 Quote Link to comment
+wandererrob Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 they are attempting to use email and subliminal to delete and/or mix up all your waypoints Quote Link to comment
+Criminal Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Sheesh. Chill out, it's probably one of your friends goofing with you. Give it a few days and see what happens. Getting bent out of shape over one email is a bit reactionary don't you think? Quote Link to comment
ScottFla Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Should we alert LE? That is a strange email but I wouldn't get all worked up over it, either. Quote Link to comment
+Sue Gremlin Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I dunno. It could be terrorism. You should alert the feds. Quote Link to comment

grambi Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 Sheesh. Chill out, it's probably one of your friends goofing with you. Give it a few days and see what happens. Getting bent out of shape over one email is a bit reactionary don't you think? Im not getting overexcited, I was just curious. Ive been signed up here for ages and dont know anyone else (in real life) that is. I hardly ever post, I dont do many geocaches and all of a sudden i get a strange mail. Just curious thats all Quote Link to comment
Shoobie & the Sand Crabs Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 sounds like someone fooling around. I would report it. Quote Link to comment
Major Catastrophe Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I recieved this mail today from someone claiming to be from here --This message was sent through http://www.geocaching.com -- User's Profile: http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=6d...62-4f8c12e273ae Hmm, lessee. The guy has NO finds, NO hides, has made NO posts to the forums. Yet he sends cryptic emails to geocachers. Possibly a spammer, so if you reply you'll receive a million or so viagra ads. There's also a possiblilty that the email contained a virus payload, though if it really went through the GC.com system that's probably not likely. In any case, pull the flush lever...

+AuntieWeasel Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 No, no...this is interesting. Definitely not a spammer. hello grambi, bigarm here.. bigmar here.. bigram here.. Bigarm, bigmar and bigram are anagrams of grambi. grampus??gramarye??? Grampus and gramarye are words that, like grambi, begin with "gram." 10.40=50 vowl/constant separation odds/evens placements Don't know about this, but I don't have a good head for mathematical patterns. Ratio of vowels to constants in the name, maybe? gr.ambition.. condensated.. "Grambi" is a "condensated" form of "gr.ambition" milebi unitbi footbi A gram is a unit of measure. Hence "mile" and "unit" and "foot" with "bi" stuck on the end. So! The whole thing is wordplay on the nick "grambi" by a person who signed up for a single day apparently to write the email. I'm guessing it's either somebody who thinks he knows you and is teasing you (but doesn't really know you, since none of this is ringing a bell for you). Or it's schizophrenic wordplay by someone who saw your name and found it personally significant somehow. Harmless, but very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment
+bp_guy Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I don't know what's more freaky, the e-mail, the person who e-mailed it, the fact that we're trying to decipher it, or the fact that I am really curious as to the true motive to the mail being sent. IMHO, I would maybe create an email account through a free provider then sign up for a bogus account on gc.com then email the person back. Keep us posted! Quote Link to comment
+bp_guy Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 The new e-mail account would be used just for that purpose, so if you started getting mauled with spam, then it was your friend and you can easily delete the account. Quote Link to comment
