Yeah. Another "tell" is the fact that he volunteered the Homeland Security stuff three separate times to three separate individuals over the course of those two days ... as though he were attempting to impress us ... or, as Mr. Laz said, use his relationship with the DHS as some sort of leverage.

I don't think a company that is actually transacting business with Homeland Security would casually announce that fact to mere customers or complete strangers for no clear reason.

As James Lovell once remarked; "Houston, we have a tool."

Indeed.
I'm a month removed from working with the DHS on a weekly basis. I have several certifications and clearances which allowed me to do so. I'm fairly certain that they did an extensive background check on me beforehand.

So, yesterday I'm sitting in my beautifully appointed home office drinking a fresh, hot cup of joe and thinking about my next strategic business move, when I receive a call from a data center guy from Murphreesboro, Tennessee. I don't know this person, but I'm nice and stuff and inquire into the purpose for his call.

It turns out he wants my business because he's purchased all the accounts from the crazy data center guy who said he was working with Homeland Security. Apparently, NES shut the original data center guy down because he owed over 30 grand in past due electric bills. Then, the IRS yellow-taped his door on account of past due payroll taxes. Then, the Predators (or the partnership that owns them) sued the guy for about 200k for defaulting on a sponsorship arrangement. The crazy data center guy promised to hook them up with local phone service and fiber optic cable at the Sommet Center (the Preds' home ice). It seems the guy didn't pay the people who installed the cable, so the Preds had to pay them. Then, the phone service went out for lack of payment one week before the CMA Awards show, so the Preds had to pay the phone company, too. On top of that, the crazy data center guy defaulted on 120k due to the Preds for the sponsorship.

Anyhow, all this went down about a month after I got my stuff out of his facility. There is a God. And, there is a crazy data center guy.

So, what you're saying is the cute blonde probably needs a job?

You beat me to it. Now that we know FAX is okay, this really is the most pressing issue.

**Rain Man** · 01-07-2011, 02:32 PM

You should never try to screw over a group known as The Predators.

I'm glad you were able to escape the crazy data center guy. But I have to ask: what ever became of the cute blonde receptionist? Hopefully she was able to leave and find another good receptionist job and wasn't out of work long enough that she was forced to become a stripper, demeaning herself by dancing naked and sitting on the laps of visiting Japanese business men after icing down parts of her body that respond to being iced down.

She moved on. Used me as a reference and I was happy to oblige.

She called to thank me, too. She did not, however, offer to privately model her new bikini for me. I felt a little sad, to be honest. It seems like the least a hot blond could do for a guy like me who has been so helpful in her career is to drop by and model her new bikini.

Women. Hmph.

Pics, or the blonde was just a figment of your imagination.

I think the Crazy Data Center Guy is living in Rain Man's walls.

Too bad it's not the hot blonde secretary.

Given the possibility of debts to "nonstandard lenders", he may be in someone's walls, just not alive.

More likely to be in someone's foundation

To me, the interesting aspect of crazy data center man's deal is this; he made a big splash here in Nashville when he opened up for business. He joined the Chamber (got himself on a couple of tech-centric committees), was written up in the Business Journal as one of the top, local entrepreneurs, and made a real big deal of his relationship with the Predators ... and that's just for starters.

The point is that, anybody looking at his business from the outside would have been impressed with his rapid rise in the community. Obviously, though, it was all just a facade. Let this be a warning to all you young entrepreneurs out there in Planetland. You can't judge a cute, blond receptionist until you see her in her new bikini.

I manage and oversee the crew that operates a 120,000 sq foot data center for a mega corporation. I can't even imagine how fast all of us would be out the door if we treated any customer - no matter how small - like that.

Good luck Mr. FAX. Nobody deserves that treatment.

Inspector · 01-07-2011, 03:24 PM

Also - I use a company provided credit card for an account we have with UPS. A few weeks ago my card expired - which I overlooked - and do you know what UPS did? They kept on providing the service and allowed me to just give them the new date and applied that to the weekly charge. No problem.

That's how you handle customers who's credit cards expired.
