Even as a hoax at least you have a good story out of it. In years to come you'll be able to say, "I remember when the Lost Symbol came out and someone hacked the phone number published. I almost..."

Wait... did I miss a post?

Well, it was fun following this thread while it lasted.

I'm hoping the publicity team at Random House will come through with the autographed book for you...even though its not their fault, it would make for a happy ending

Can't help wondering how many other readers didn't have the nous to run a check as you did and spent time and money chasing a false lead. Cheers. The other Neil

Well - blame VR - wouldn't stop kicking my chair and shouting "Down in front"

You know - this scam/hoax reminds me of those (possibly urban legend) stories of police sending invitations to criminals that jumped bail or didn't show up in court - to attend a fictitious banquet/give-away/sports function in a major hotel - where all the wait staff are cops - you get the picture.

Would be fun to find out who did show up - and what happened to them.

I was hoping that the phone number might be listed on the website mentioned in the book: theintentionexperiment.com

But it isn't that I can find, its a London address and phone.

Beware, the site lists a few book spoilers.
