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.
Btw, "Umar Salman" is like "John Smith" in some cultures.

Except when I look up in google.com, it's unique and far from "John Smith." Perhaps if I used Google in the native country for said culture, I might run into duplicates. However, this is not the case.
