You're posting this on every hosting forum on the planet.

Can't help feel that this is a personal vendetta more than being a good Samaritan.

This situation involving a Mr. Shawn Blackmore is ahh interesting.

Does anyone know / know of this fellow previously?

The thread from Facebook is smelling of scam/theft/racket....

and... this fills in the redacted/edited/censored pieces of this thread....

Which originally, in part said:

Here's what gets me:

A simple "sorry we are not hiring at this time" answer to his initial question would have prevented the subsequent waste of time.

Why would rewording 'No' have resulted in a different outcome?  These types don't take the hint, no matter how plain you make it to them.
The point is once you give your answer, that's it...no need to come back and explain.

Communications stops.

Ah, but ignoring the guy is a completely different matter :p  Mr Censored could've just stopped responding after the answer he did give - it was clear enough he wasn't going to give the guy what he wanted.

Pushy types like that simply don't stop until they finally realize things won't go their way - then they get pissy and storm off.

So...  What about this guy who posted it?  What's his deal?  

Well it appears he was confronted by this shady dealer asking for the keys to PayPal.. Beyond that, if axe to grind, validity of the Facebook posts, etc.  benefit of the doubt given on this all being genuine and as documented.

I'd like for "jacobmanning" to grace us with his presence and tell the story and fill in the blanks... Otherwise, my foil headwrap might need adjusted.
 
The guy was telling people he has his CCIE, I asked him for the IE number, he gave me what appears to be the 1-800 number for dish network.

The guy is the ultimate toolbag, that doesn't know shit.

Which guy was doing that @?  The OP or Shawn Blackmore?

hello,
just to clarify i posted that up and removed it because i thought of the following possible scenario:

he may be a person using his name but is actually another person
and it seemed a little bit suspicious.

thats why i asked mods to delete this post and lock. just in case it is someone else 'claiming' to be him.

I'm sure if they find out they will be straight on here, like you, to rectify the situation :)

Well I see no reason to erase the internet...

I mean if someone steps up and runs a scam by me, regardless of who they say they are (Barack Oblama), I probably am going to say something to someone.

If he fellow the OP pointed to didn't do such, then someone arguably is in control of his account and that is whole slew of what happened else scenarios.

Yet another reason that social networks, perceived account holder and getting cozy/credentialed at random like this is blah and inadequate.
