Hello,

I am going to need a new DWG unit, prefereably the rechargeable AMD wrist watch model with the GRC79 induction motor, four I80200 warp stabilizers, 512GB of SRAM and the menu driven GUI with front panel XID display. I'm a time traveler stuck here in 2003. Upon arriving here my dimensional warp generator stopped working. I trusted a company here by the name of LLC Lasers to repair my Generation 3 52 4350A watch unit, and they fled on me. I will take whatever model you have in stock, as long as its received certification for being safe on carbon based life forms.

In terms of payment: Payment can be made in Galactic Credits, Platinum gold, or 2003 currency upon safe delivery of unit.

INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY:
Please transport unit in either a brown paper bag or box to below coordinates on Friday August 22nd at (exactly 4:00pm) Eastern Standard Time. A fewminutes prior will be ok, but it cannot be after. If you miss this timeframe please email me. Nobody will be at those coordinates prior to 3:45pm EST, (so do not transport before then).

Item is to be delivered at beginning of Lagrange Street in Winchester, Massachusetts which is directly across the street from Stratford Road locatedat: Latitude N 42.44852 & Longitude W 071.14651 and the Elevation is 90 feet.

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRANSPORT ITEM BY REGULAR MEANS OF TELEPORTATION. THEY ARE MONITORING AND WILL REDIRECT THE SIGNAL!! I DO NOT CARE HOW YOU HAVE TO GET IT HERE, JUST DO IT IN A WAY THAT NO SPYING EYES WILL POSSIBLY BE ABLE TO REDIRECT OR BLOCK THE TRANSFERENCE. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU BE ABLE TO MONITOR THE TRANSFER. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO SEND IT SO THAT THEY CANNOT REDIRECT OR BLOCK IT??? If in doubt do not transport actual unit until your method of transfer can be confirmed as a success. You just might need to send a intergalactic courier to deliver item safely to me.
It is best if you send a intergalactic courier to deliver, this way you can be certain the unit arrives ok, However If you are certain that you havethe means to teleport unit in a safe manner please send a (separate) email to me at: webmaster@federalfundingprogram.com only after unit has been safely delivered with payment instructions.

Thanks
Brian Appel

Do not reply directly back to this email as it will only be bounced back to you.

Whois records are notoriously unreliable, much like the GRC78 induction motor -- can you believe the damned thing only had four recalls?

I am very appreciative of these e-mails. This dude has a sense of humor.
Wonder if he is a published SF author?
Keep it up.

The return on the latest e-mail today was www.arcor.de
The e-mail address was custompaintshop.net
This provided a search engine that led me here.
Perhaps he speaks German and is using a German server as his mail server.
Just one more clue

I received this time-traveller junk e-mail to our corporate "sales@..." e-mail address. Before I reproduce the e-mail below (including relavent parts of the header) the message either came directly from [...] or came through that computer from 19.20.246.215. However, it probably did not come from 19.20.246.215 since the header claims that address belongs to (6gfj.bjlk.net) while arin who-is says that Ford Motor Company ownes that IP. Traceroute fails very early in the path to 19.20.246.215.

So I assume the e-mail came from [...]. Ping worked to that computer, and so did nbtstat:

Name type
SISTEMAS Unique
FXPARTS Group
SISTEMAS Unique

That computer has some open shares that I was able to connect to:

The directory "usuarios" (Users?) has this:

08-20-03 10:40a ..
[names deleted on request]
9 file(s) 20,528 bytes
2 dir(s) 9,318.00 MB free

So I have no clue who owns that computer or why it has those open shares and why it (apparently?) originated the time-traveller e-mail. I haven't checked to see if it's just an e-mail relay (I'll leave that to others).

But in the mean-time, have fun with it. Try this:

Start
Find
Computer
[...]

then browse at will.

Can you delete the information about my computer [...]), names and related stuff ?

In 2003 We were using a proxy called freeproxy/freeweb, but we detected it opens some ports, so we decided to stop using it.

Part of this information is very important for us, so please erase it from this page.
