[quote:1guynAz:MV81MTY0MTEyXzk0ODYzMDA4XzhCMjIzN0Y5] [quote:Anonymous Coward 82535341:MV81MTY0MTEyXzk0ODYyMzAwXzNGMDM2NkY3] No, I paid a deposit for a professional service that is supposed to happen next week and I fear they won't show up. Is there any way to find out who the guy is with the little info I have? He closed his FB between last night and this am. [/quote] How much did you pay him? What is the promised amount afterwards? That may determine if he will show up! [/quote]

OK, so I have a serious deadline I need to meet and I hire somebody yesterday, after talking to them on the phone. I paid a deposit online. I was given the guy's name. I googled him. I first found a Facebook which I can't find now. The photo of the man, he looked not so congenial. Maybe just his expression?
Yes, I should have googled extensively before paying the deposit but I didn't. Now, I googled his phone it's a VOIP! How can I find the real owner? He has no address anywhere, White Pages for his name gives a ghetto location. (I thought he sounded like he was from South of the border.) I googled the name origins and cannot find anything! I finally found one website with a woman with the same last name and..she's in Nigeria! I am supposed to pay this guy upfront. I am really scared now.
How can I find out more info? There is nothing whatsoever on the name the payment app gave me. There is nothing with his phone, no BBB, no Yelp, one Facebook that is now closed meaning requires log in. What would you do?
