In the beginning of May I received the first mail from the lost space traveller in search for a 4 Dimensional Warp Generator # 52 4350a series wrist watch, a GRC79 induction motor, a couple of warp stabilizors and other Sci-Fi gadgets. I was very puzzled at the time. Since then, I have kept getting about another mail like this a week. The reward still seems to be $5,000, but the email address for returing tips has changed.
Time Travel with Time Travel Bob
Time Travel Bob, aka Robert Todino, had a huge part of my Internet life during 2003, when he sent out tons of spam mails asking for spare parts to his time travel equipment so that he could go back to the future. I've dug through the archives and re-published all of my old blog posts from 2003. Most of them are full of old Internet Archive links, since most of the referred pages are long gone. But I thought it well worth the work to bring these humorous events back to life again. Enjoy!
Time traveller in need of spare parts
I’m not totally sure this really is spam. But it’s strange, and way past anything I’ve ever seen before. Have you ever heared about a 4 Dimensional Warp Generator # 52 4350a series wrist watch? I haven’t. Familiar with the AMD Dimensional Warp Generator module containing the GRC79 induction motor? Uh-hu.
