Got a PM from "Universal Action SCP WiKI Comittee"

So I just got the following PM from UASWK, account created 4 hours ago, and yes, the profile name includes both odd capitalization and typo:

Hello,
I am John, a representative from the UASWK, otherwise known as the Universal Action SCP WorK Committee. We are contacting you to let you know that you are in violation of the UASWK Work Code (sector four, paragraph three). If you would like, we will send you a full copy of the Work Code within an hour at your request. Either comply with the terms stated on the specified paragraph, or take the offending article(s) down. You have 48 hours to comply, and if you do not do so, your hosting provider will be contacted with a takedown notice. This serves as an official notice of warning. The article(s) in question are: "SCP-J SCP-461-J SCP-568 SCP-492 SCP-1768 SCP-054-EX". The reason specified is "No reason, please contact UASWK helpdesk for more information".

Thanks,
John Schaunhofer
UASWK

I'm rather mystified by this. Does an admin want to take this?

I received it too. I sent a "here's where you're wrong (everywhere)" PM back, although given that it seems to be a loving mockery of our licensing form PM and the fact it scans as "you suck", they are probably trying to get our goats.

I asked for a copy of this document, and got the following.

The Work Code is only available to UASWK members/agents.
Our automated system has decided that you are not a UASWK agent.
Therefore, all contact with the "SCP Foundation" will now cease.

Have a nice day,
John S.
UASWK Foundation

I'm disappointed. Where's the attention to detail with the trolls these days?

Another High-larious response.

John

As an additional note of reply, it is necessary to notice the SCP Foundation of Atlantica and how it can be founded; Atlantia is a sovereign nation located in the middle of the sea; It is to serve the purpose of maintaining continuity of the UASWK. If the SCP Foundation would like to contact the UASWK to purchase this property; please contact Australian phone number [REDACTED] and either call or answer via SMS, line on other end will anser John. This is extremely worthwhile payment for iland.

UASWK

That's better. Not perfect, but better. I give this troll 3 out of five stars.

Better snap it up soon. I got the same PM and have been looking for beachfront property.

Got the same PM, despite my not replying to any of the stuff they've sent me.

Did a quick google lookup for that number:

[REDACTED] is a mobile phone number and it could be provided by Optus in Australia.

Interesting. The plot thickens!

Could it be?
Yes, yes it could. At least the fucker's getting interesting.

Received a copy of the first PM a few hours ago, but not the follow-ups. Probably because I was offline and didn't post on the O5 thread.

We have the weirdest trolls these days.

New message:

Alas, you are breaking all Terms of te Conduct; but are still good in our standads;

If you do suceed to apply the hammer onto it, then be nknown that it comes with a costL:

(Non-ARG related stuff: Remove my phone number from the 05 Thread immediately or Wikidot will be contacted. I won't ask you twice

ARG indeed.

The phone thing is a fair request, no matter who this is.

Re: Got a PM from "Universal Action SCP WiKI Comittee"

DrEverettMann 11 Dec 2015 14:08

Agreed. I've edited out the number.

If this is supposed to be an ARG (the idea of which I'm not opposed to, btw), why in the world are they trying to perpetrate it on Staff as opposed to people who don't already know about and are intimately involved with the wiki?

And this:

METHOD: AES-256 KEY: XTS PASSCODE: uaswkfoundation

Noting that the "from" and "to" text starting with the = both were links for emails sent to apparently non-existing addresses, ending in .int?

Anyway, the message was titled "Encrypted Message" or something. I'm not great with these sorts of puzzles and I need to eat something, so I'm going to respond as usual by not replying.
