How did they contact you? And what is an "Arg"?wpstudart;55454 said:
I think I misunderstood him. I thought he said I should go to a site and pretend to be google. Now I think he meant that it is that site pretending to be google. I have not checked the link because of potential risk. I'll maybe try it out using a proxy.

Alfa-Tsentr is the name of fictional organization of The Junko Junsui ARG Game (Alternate Reality Game).
The game
It started on 20 August 2009, when in forums they talked about a page which is a false Google (http://174.133.240.117/), that when you write "The Enemy" it redirect to the page of Google looking for "Alfa-Tsentr", then when in the false google write "Alfa-tsentr" it shows a video of a kidnapped woman. Other words that work for the fake google site are "Alfa Tsentr", which appears to be Russian, or the English equivalent "Alpha Center".
Alfa-Tsentr (Alpha-Center, Russian: Альфа-Центр) is a Russian private military company based in Beloretsk, Russia. The company served an important logistics and support role throughout the course of the Second Chechen War, and served as an auxiliary guard to the pro Kremlin regime of Akhmad Kadyrov.
Privatization
Originally conceived of as a holding company for newly privatized state assets, Alfa-Tsentr purchased many large military hardware factories, army and air force operational facilities in the mid 1990s. These formerly Soviet assets were purchased from the government of Boris Yeltsin at a fraction of their value as part of a larger trend that came to be known as the loans for shares scheme.
Current structure
Today the PMC is comprised of 3 main divisions:
Operational
The operational units of Alfa-Tsentr are considered its core assets. These include non conventional warfare units (Spetsnaz), pilots and ground crew operators, body guard detail and close protection teams, combat engineers, logistical support teams, command and control units, combat medics, evacuation and search + rescue crews.
Advisory
Similar to NATO-oriented private military companies such as England's Aegis Defence Services, Alfa-Tsentr operates a consulting division which provides research and analysis on security threats, both for civilian and government military organizations.
Training
The company is responsible for government-outsourced training in the Russian Federation, particularly that of local police forces which participate in nation-wide interdiction of organized crime activities. After Alfa-Tsentr's initial role as a holding company, some of its first activities included training of paramilitary forces, including controversial Chechen Kadyrovtsy.
Facilities
Since 2000, Alfa-Tsentr has performed some logistical support at the Kosvinsky Mountain facility in the Sverdlovsk Oblast.

ARG is an Alternate Reality Game, that they create sites, companies, characters, and stuff like that, and make you find out something. It's kind of pointless, but it's cool because you start acting like a 'Sherlock Holmes', following leads, decrypting notes and things like that.
