Any information can be easily falsified and that's just one of the disadvantages with doing business with online (or as I see it "intangible") clients. I mean heck, the carmen_elektra guy's real name is Umar Salman and despite telling me how he's "always in Chicago," he's actually from Northolt, Middlesex, UK.

And after finally having real information on him I should have avoided him in the first place as.. his name brings up this: http://elliotjaystocks.com/blog/how-...p-the-thieves/

Which that right there does in fact prove that Google IS handy if the individual has a unique name and/or branding that you can search. Thank God ~I~ wasn't the one paying him.. Which, by the way, despite handing over work to him he filed a Paypal dispute for "Significantly Not as Described" and marked that the product was missing parts and was 'time sensitive late.'

I still wish my thread was left up but meh.
