Mr. Gray Project

[Firefly03]

I just received a letter with the return address being just Mr Gray. It was a gray envelope with a silver address label. There was a letter about some alien landings and cover up and the like. Then the bottom said, "If you believe, send $2.50 (for shipping) to blah blah blah through paypay, and you will receive a unique gift in the near future."

 

Anyone know what this is? Has anyone else received the same letter?

No letter here.

Maybe you get to be the test subject in a mystery coin junky scam.

We will find out soon! Sent the payment, figured it was only 2.50, why not? What harm could come of it? (Don't answer that! I don't wanna know. ) Will keep everyone posted.

[+TeamEccs21]

Spoke too soon...letter #012left by the mailman just a few minutes ago.

I'll have to think about sending the $$$, though I have certainly wasted more than that many times I would hate to be part of someone's personal fundraising efforts.

[+GATOULIS]

Well... this is definatelly for USA! 2.5$ for shiping.... I think it goes more for europe!

 

Anyway... only paypal? If the cacher doesn't have paypal account? (like me), are cash ok ? hmm...I do not think so... after that I will know who is the guy!

 

what troubles me is....what exactly is the gift, what is the near future (in allien years?? I am kiding!), he is not saying anythin about geocoin and... is this the first time a mystery sender is asking postage money?

[+fairyhoney]

~ INTERESTING to say the least. This merits watching

No letter here. Hope they aren't getting the addresses from the address book.

I don't think they will accept money. That means letting you know where they are. The letter just says to use paypal.

 

Hmm.. looked at the name and I don't recognize it. I'm not going to say who, in case this is a legit mystery coin, but I am going to do some homework.

[+isjustus4]

Maybe the economy is hitting the Mystery coiners, so they're trying to cover they're cost increases by not giving away shipping!

 

 

Interesting to see what comes of this.

[+sdkonkle]

Well if nothing shows up i'm sure you could reverse the payment with paypal.

 

If this is another mystery coin I sure hope Mr Gray sends a gray envelope my way.

[+AtlantaGal]

No idea

Interesting thing about using PayPal, is that if you don't received something in say, 30 days, you can file a protest before 45 days have past...

 

Seems to me that makes the thing fairly trustworthy...

Mr. Gray requests that you show your payment as a gift. That May impact the ability to file a protest.

[Firefly03]

ok, so like I said, I sent in the payment. It's only $2.50 right? Well now I just an email from said person requesting the number on my letter. So, SOMETHING is going on.

 

I did a bit of background work and the PayPal name is fake. (As I suspected.) However the year that this famous person was born is the same year that the letter refers to. I think whoever did this had to have put some thought and work behind it, even if it turns out to be a scam.

[+usyoopers]

hmmmm, quite interesting. I will watch my mailbox for a gray envelope.

[+GATOULIS]

Well... I do not think it is a scam but you never know...

 

I was wondering... since I do not have a paypal account... I can send the cach payment via mail to the return address... my address!

 

I am kiding of course, and I just found that thought funny!

[+drneal]

no grey envelope for me...I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

I recieved a mysterious letter from Mr. Gray today I believe

[+Crowesfeat30]

Was the word "geocoin" in this letter anywhere? If not what makes you believe that this has anything to do with geocoins at all? I guess I'm confused...

[+Ashallond]

Nothing about geocoins...just addressed to Dear Geocacher.

[+DresselDragons]

interesting...Mr. Grey in the woods with a geocoin...reminds me of clue...LOL

[+Ashallond]

Is this some strange demented version of Clue?

[+Eartha]

Don't send money to something unsolicited. Since this could be a scam, I am closing this thread.

IF it turns out to be something coin related, we can reopen it then.

[+Eartha]

Re-opened after confirming, and assuring, that this will be within the guidelines.

I received Letter #20 while the thread was locked. Anyone else get a letter since Oct 2nd? I believe Mr. Gray!

[+MustangJoni]

I got #13....

 

I believe!

[+scificollector]

I received letter #002 a while back while the thread was locked. At first I thought that the vast government conspiracy had arranged to have the thread shut down, but then I started receiving information via direct download to my computer from mysterious outside sources and the thread came back. I definitely believe something mysterious is going on!

[+GeocoinGuy]

I received letter #22.... could this be my first mystery coin in the works?

CAUTION everyone. There are forces that you may not understand or even be aware of. Lock away your children and bring the dogs inside.

[+Team kizb]

What if you don't have Children or dogs?

[+DaFunkyFrogs]

congrats to all who received Mr. Greys letter...We hope to see the unique gift as soon as some lucky cacher gets it...

[Maine Family]

I believe and I received number 15.

[+anne.and.eli]

I received one and assumed it was a follow up from the cointact coin. Haven't had a chance to do anything with it, but plan to follow up.

[+ice13-333]

Sounds very interesting...

Ha, checked ours fifty time. We are on vacation starting Sunday, the mail is on hold for a week. Maybe there will be a suprise grey envolope when we get home. If not it is nice to see this thread open. I cant wait to see what is received.

[+Tonyalynnm]

I am super excited to see what this coin looks like. I didn't get an envelope but love seeing all the great mystery coins

[+Vanelle]

I received letter #003. At first thought it was related to Cointact - but with a little sleuthing, decided that was not the case.

[+Degai]

How did this get here? Aliens, I suspect!

I'm glad to see this discussion is now reopened. I came home from Rhode Island and saw the post firefly03 had made and thought, oh my goodness, is this another mystery coin? I didn't have any mail because I had been gone for a week and the post office was holding my mail. By the time I got my mail, this discussion was shut down. Drats! I received #004 (just after you, Vanelle), but I couldn't post here, so I emailed firefly03 to find out if there was any information. She gave me the information and low and behold, I'm here and this has been reopened. Now, I can keep track of what's going on.

 

I didn't get any information from Mr. Gray, but I sent the money in anyway. Honestly, that letter is so well written and intriguing, I had to do it. Not to mention, it is on glittery silver paper! I thought to myself, who would go to all of this trouble if it were a scam? It's just too good.

 

As I have mentioned before, I am always amazed by the ingenuity and creativity of Geocoiners, especially those mystery coiners. Not only do they create ingenious designs, but the ideas they come up with are always so brilliant. Are they rich? I don't know, but they are certainly generous.

 

Thank you Mr. Gray for the letter. Whatever happens next, is icing on the cake. I do so BELIEVE!!!! There are aliens and they have been here since the dawn of mankind (and more than likely longer) and yes, the government has always had a tendency to cover up anything they do not (or do) understand.

[+LadyBee4T]

CAUTION everyone. There are forces that you may not understand or even be aware of. Lock away your children and bring the dogs inside.

 

I will have to watch over the dogs very, very carefully and take my big squirt gun whenever I venture outside with them because I think my dog--Molly, Riley and Layla--may not like being in the house all the time. Besides I think they give puppy dog kisses and slobber and that may be enough to keep the forces on the straight and narrow.

 

Excited to see what the coin looks like. Please post pictures!!

[princeshoko]

The biggest number ive seen here is 23,

 

23x2.50 is $57.50

 

So if it is fund raising then there going pretty slow at it lol. This might just prove to be something Very kewl.

[+DJ.J.ROCK]

[+Ashallond]

2 weeks later, I can confirm no letter received.

 

My close encointer coin would have loved a grey friend, but it will have to irradiate my coin collection in peace it appears.

 

congrats to all who got a letter.

[+anne.and.eli]

I checked my letter and i have double-oh 6.
