Sure thing! I don't know that it's happened to members on this forum but this thread on another forum quickly became PrivateColo selling hard drives, and then became pages of people talking about the scam that took place: All evidence Hidden (people figuring out he ran with the money here) My apologies that it's all so scattered. He's been such a pain to keep notes on. He's forced me to spend so much time chasing him or else I'm stuck running a forum that no one will trust service providers on, because he just keeps showing up with a new name every 1-2 months. He's kept me on my toes.

The user GoNode5 (formerly Omnificent) on this forum is a scammer known as Joshua (Hidden) who has been the head of at least these operations: JLPHOST IgniteServers VyprNetworks PrivateColo GoNode5 (latest) He has a tendency to take money for items and then disappear. I'm going to have to link some external resources to give context. The information is scattered. I apologize for that. You can follow the JLPHOST scam with a quick Google search: https://www.google.com/search?q=jlphost&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 Here it was determined that the person behind VyprNetworks was likely Joshua Hidden https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/82535/is-anyone-else-having-vyprnetworks-issues He then started PrivateColo to build up new hardware to steal and sell. He began selling hard drives here: https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/wtb-2-4-tb-2-5-hard-drives.11472 He disappeared with the money. As he's done on other forums before, he showed up about the time that people were getting angry, pretending to be someone who bought from PrivateColo (and swearing no relation) saying that he got a refund. I assume this was to encourage people to hold off on chargebacks until he had the money in hand. Some highlights: https://s.jar.land/GFLNjXGjIW0/ Note that Omnificent here absolutely was PrivateColo. He had a whole thread about starting a datacenter at home where he posted the logo for PrivateColo and then later edited his post, luckily the next poster quoted it: https://s.jar.land/kP9nAoiZtIp/ To draw these together, I will provide reasonable evidence to suggest that Omnificent/GoNode5 is Joshua Hidden. We'll start with the bike: https://s.jar.land/isxkXtyJ4mI/ (2nd one hidden) The bike model he mentions in that post is repeated here: (Hidden) I'll refrain, for now, from posting the evidence here but if you check Facebook for both you'll see that Billy has two sons and Joshua has two daughters. I would find it distasteful to post their kids here, but it's easily accessible and I do have the screenshots to suggest this. He lies about that detail again here: https://s.jar.land/OZhgE2am2gM/ The thing about Joshua Hidden and his scams is that you'll find reasonable evidence to make the connections. Unfortunately, you'll not usually find the kind of proof you would hand over to police. I've been following him and his scams for some time now because he's been disrupting my forum (LowEndTalk) by making a new company every 1-2 months and trying to scam members out of money. He's made it a necessity that I hunt him. At this point, I've started to feel bad for not sharing details to other forums he's selling things on. I hope it is well received. I only mean well.
