Well phase three did not involve pencils or Don’s activation as a sleeper agent.

What phase three actually involved was two charges on Don’s American Express card from the evil amazon … for the same amounts as the sharpener and sketchbook.

Silly Don, you might think, this is those seeds all over again!

But this is where it gets rather spooky … there are no such purchases in Don’s amazon history – his last amazon purchase was some time in 2010.

To summarise:

+ Parcel containing a pencil sharpener arrives addressed to Don with no other documentation or indication of sender
+ Parcel containing a small sketchbook arrives addressed to Don with no other documentation or indication of sender
+ Time passes
+ Charges for each of these items appear in Don’s credit card transactions
+ There is no record of these items in Don’s amazon purchase history

We can conclude that this is Not Good.

After an “investigation” American Express have decided that the charges are legitimate. I mean, the total less than $20 – but what happens when it is a $5k television, or a Tesla?

Obviously we are not going to let this end there.

Updates as they arrive.
