Pluritas Wants To Talk Amiga...
« on: April 02, 2011, 12:04:57 AM »
Now I know that in some places it's still April the 1st but whether this one is real or not doesn't really matter... :)

It's just plain weird and could be very, very interesting... :)

It started with an email I received tonight at CommodoreScotland.com from someone I'd never heard of before wanting to talk "Amiga" and giving me some phone number that doesn't even make sense here in the UK... :)

Read about it here and see what you make of it... :D

Mark Want's to talk Amiga !!!

I know it's not the best day to believe this but I assure you it's true, either this guy is having a crap attempt at an April fool or he's the worst lawyer that I've ever came across... :roflmao:

Verified primary phone number as a land line in Chicago, Illinios.

The only Mark Thomann I could find is a 44 year old married resident of Chicago (with a fairly expensive home) who works for River West Btands LLC.

The address of West River Brands does not correspond to the address you were given so this may not be your man. So your Mark Thomann may be a individual with a lower public profile.

I can verify that the address you've been given does belong to Pluritas.
And, if I'm not mistaken, these were the people that were assisting AInc in the marketing of their assets.
However, as Pluritas' phone number begins with a different area code (than your phone number starts with) this combination of address and phone numbers seems unlike.

There is still over 4 hours of April 4th left in Chicago, so this very well could be a well thought out prank.

However, I would advise against talking to him directly, especially about Amiga.

I suggest that anything you do with this individual be in writing.


Cheers Iggy... :)

Done a bit of checking myself before posting or emailing the numptie, he joined the site two days ago and emailed his rubbish April fool stuff tonight...

He did email from "riverwestbrands.com" and all the names, phone no's and addresses were genuine but I saw through it straight away hence the daft replies... :)

He's not been back in touch since, pity though, I was enjoying replying to him to see what he would come up with next... :)

Mind you I did ban him from the site just in case he was some useless lawyer that couldn't even spell the word "discuss"... :lol:

Hopefully he'll come up with something better next time or if he is a real lawyer he'd better start looking for a decent one for himself... :roflmao:

Franko,

I'm not exactly sure how you received the message (email or online comment) but did you get an IP address?  We could run traceroute to see where the IP is from.

Cheers!
-P


Hi Pentad... :)

Thanks for the offer but the email was submitted using the sites own email service. only thing I have is the email address he used "mark@riverwestbrands.com"... (which seems to be genuine as he replied to the emails I sent to it)... :)

To be honest it doesn't really matter as I found it all quite amusing and whether it's real or not doesn't make any difference to me, cos even if it is real then guys obviously not very good at his job (and he seems to have given up for now)... :)

@ Iggy

Thanks for the advice and info Iggy, it does seem pretty weird to be honest but like I say it doesn't bother me it's actually quite amusing, just more a curiosity to see if whomever it is can come up with something better than what they have so far... :)
