Maybe whoever is in charge of this forum or the directory should call the guys number that's listed and talk to him.
Actually, that very likely will prove nothing since anyone can be on the other end of the phone and since this info has already been supplied it may be a moot point... again... it is frankly, not up the the subscription media source to validate a person credentials... as poor as that may seem, it is a fact... there is no way that public information on any given media can be verified to any extent. I will say this again... if a person has the fee to post the ad... he can be or say most anything and as long as it is compliant with the advertiser... it gets printed.
Yes, it is in our best interest to validate and try and make sure we are all above board, legally and professionally but the simple fact is that it is probably impossible to do this in reality... and with many state not being regulated... how can you be absolutely sure other than "word of mouth" and that frankly depends on the "mouth" that is providing the information at the time.... do you see the problem here...
Reality has to prevail... delete him if you will... he very likely needs to be sanctioned but be sure of your actions.
We have a perfect example of how the system "does not always work"... or if your so inclined... how the system "does work"... the Anthony case... and you see... here again... it depends on your perspective and your position... everyone has a slightly different perspective.... so who makes the final choice as to where it goes...
Not me......... I ain't that smart and I dare say, neither are any of us.... it has to be a collective effort... and if you all agree... take him out of the directory.... I have about finished with this... to me it is pretty much cut and dried.... each has a point... move past it.
Bottom line to me anyway... is pretty simple.... check out your intended affiliations... if you get screwed... you didn't look deep enough... put the bad apples in a separate bag and move on... "live and learn" and if you want to provide info on your bad experience fine.... just be aware of defamation laws.... people will come back at you all the time.... be prepared.
