Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

You cannot allege that A.F is Daniel Chris as the moderators have a way of telling.

Bob,

Be PROFESSIONAL!!! Do not humiliate your personality. Please do not verbalize any ghastly expression it will replicate to your individuality. We are all professionals. If you are trying to destroy the forum then I think you need to put up your own forum discussion, no matter what you want to call it.

If you are not Charlie, or the same guy who mentioned by Mr. Gary then you must prove yourself. Instead of criticizing other post why don’t you give or share advice and information.

Come on Bob, let’s lend a hand. Be yourself!

Don’t take my words seriously. This is just a brotherly advice.

Regards,

Arnold

Wether ’Bob’ is Charlie or not isn’t yet clear, but ’Bob’ is certainly posting under at least 4 different names. ’He’ has been attempting to fraudulently obtain CVs & personal data from members. ’He’ is also a foul-mouthed and ignorant bully who has added nothing positive to the PP fraternity.

I’ve asked PP Admin to block his IP address, and am waiting for a response. In the meantime, I’m going to delete every new post I find from ’him’. Existing posts will be retained in case PP admin needs evidence to justify banning him.

FYI, ’Bob Benham’s alter-egos that I have found to date are:
John William
George Wiliam
Danniel Chris

Posts from these ’people’ should not be trusted.

Cheers,

Gary

Hi Ravi,

I agree with you entirely. The Moderators have already had to delete a number of posts by "Bob Benham" for obscenity, intolerance, flouting the rules of Planning Planet and so on.

He is under investigation; it seems likely, taking the attitude, the way the posts are constructed, the ignorance and intolerance displayed that "Bob Benham" is in fact Charlie. In any event the all-round nastiness of this character will be sufficient to get him dumped in short order.

The short-term solution is to go into the database and change his password, that way he won’t be able to logon. Of course he can re-register under a different name, but it won’t be long until he reveals himself and the process can be repeated. Once he settles, then I believe it is possible to block the IP address of the computer he uses which gives a longer term solution.

It’s not something we will have to put up with for too much longer. The Moderators are on the case and it won’t be long before this guy is removed from Planning Planet.

Hey Chris / Shimmo,

U r IT expert. Cant u stop this guy (Ben / Charlie) from spreading S*** by posting such useless stuff.

He is just spoiling the good name of PP, which PP has earned by contribution of some great planners from construction industry.

I can also say that A.F.is Danniel Chris. Before alleging someone, you must think A.F. What’s wrong with my post? Why Admin put ban on me? Are you in senses A.F?

Mhhhh.. an unusual UK name.

Bob Benham is Danniel Chris. What’s the reason for this. Did this guy get banned?

You seem well experienced but basically it shows your foolishness. Why you sent your CV blindly to such scam without knowing about the Company or Agency? Actually you are after US$ or GBP money rather than AED and absoultely not used your Mind in such scams? Where you see USA and UK job/employer, blindly go after them. Am I right?

Hi Gary,

I think you and Ravi have got this one spot on.

I did hear of a scam which used this sort of post linked to a hotmail address which was used to "hijack" CVs. These would then be sold on to interested parties who could use them to obtain various things like exemption from immigration restrictions, green cards and so on.

Unless Danniel Chris supplies suitable contact details, wouldn’t it be safer just to delete the post?

I agree it looks very suspect.

I would suggest that unless Chris is willing to supply company email or telephone contact details, people should treat his posts with a lot of scepticism.

I’ll do some more digging in the meantime...

This seems to be totally fake.

Check the mail address; If it is authentic, he must have used company mail id.

For one of the earlier posts of Danniel Chris, he has asked for a Sample P6 program to judge the P6 abilities of the candidate. (which I never send though)

Consultants paying pension??

AND Why, they will hire a delay analyst with less than 8 years experience??

Moderators, plz look into it.

And if it is really authetic, then plz delete my post :-)
