I thought of that. But since the company doesn't legally exist and the 
name is probably a fake, it doesn't harm very much. The only thing of 
"value" in there is the IP address of the softswitch, and I wanted to 
warn others about it.

Besides, this person isn't "a customer". It's not like he's just not 
paid the invoices. He's disappeared completely, took down website, 
email, phone, etc. He or she has forged bank wire transfers, used fake 
identities, etc. What does "privacy" mean when the whole thing is a fake 
to start with?

I don't think admitting I've been abused and / or made a mistake is 
saving face. Hiding your mistakes and / or errors and pretending 
everything is going perfectly OK is just being cocky at best.

And i wouldn't feel any good if somebody else on the list got screwed 
because I "pretended" that nothing ever happened. So beware...

Oh, thank you so much for wishing me so much harm. That's exactly what I 
needed.

Well, I am not going to wish this kind of stuff happened to you - nor 
anybody else. But if it did, at least you'd understand why you're 
talking rubbish.


Cheers,
Jean-Michel.
