For all those budding sleuths out there I need you to answer me a question, who or what is Neurocam? I know this may sound simple, but believe me these people weave a mysterious web.

I have signed up to Neurocam and know several others who have - thus far, I have seen no evidence that they know anything about anybody other than what has been told them. I believe that the so-called 'background checks', based on such minimal information provided by the applicant, is purely a psychological method of increasing the aura of mystery and omniscience that they are obviously so eager to project. It's part of a well-known manipulation technique, fooling those that register into thinking that Neurocam is more powerful and resourceful than there is any real evidence to suggest it is.

I know I would be very uncomfortable giving information on my daily habits. If I were you Sunny, I would not reply. How do you know for certain the website is based in Australia?

I just submitted my first assignment. I put a fake name, changed the alias to my email address. And lied about my entire detailed account.

So how much they know, about me.

i think they want you to lie. really if i sent in an account of those hours, they would be bored to tears and i would feel bad about having a very dull life.

thanks for the concern madametbird! i'll take your advice.

I've just completed the assignment concerning 'The Magus' and submitted it to Neurocam. I recieved a reply not long ago which was almost apologetic, it read;

Neurocam International appreciates the unorthodox nature of this assignment and your willingness to continue your association with the organisation despite this unusual request.

You will recieve details of your next assignment shortly.

With this last letter the creepyness has sort of disappeared, that freaky sort of not knowing and thats the only reason why I'm doing this, that was the fun part. If this next assignment doesn't crank things up again. I might have to part ways with Neurocam...
If they let me!!!

so what is happening with this?

Feb-14-2005 17:27

After the assignment I have heard nothing from Neurocam. Maybe they've run out of ideas, but they did mention operatives are activated once every 20-30 days so we'll just have to wait and see.

I would venture to to guess that ya'll have fallen prey to an online hoax.

TBird--I wondered the same thing the other day. Surely the lack of recent activity on this message means they've all been brainwashed? ;)

I'm intrigued by this Neurocam thing. I read up on several sites about this and (if the information wasn't planted by the Neurocam people) the assignments generally sound pretty wild (after the initial questionnaire and description of five hours on a particular date).

Ace, can you tell us any more about that Magus assignment? It sounded like it bored you.

I was thinking of signing up, but the assignments I read about (for example spraypainting a Neurocam billboard and putting red stickers on art in as many galleries as possible) sound like opportunities for some people (Neurocam) to get strangers to perform risky pranks rather than assignments which lead anywhere.
