I AM UNFAMILIAR WITH THIS SITE AND WAS TRYING TO GET A TOP BRITISH ADMIN's ATTENTION WHEN I WROTE WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A PRIVATE NOTE TO HIM:
This is the first time I have tried this site, and I obviously have no feel for how to attract talent , nor do I have history on this site. So I am not surprised - but here is the crux of the matter:
I have been plagued by one really smart young man who graduated near the top of his class (coding) at Cornell - with whom I shared a little too much information about a potential App project.
I misunderstood what he did for a living (but later found out he was of questionable character - not intelligence - and had a substance abuse problem). When he hit me, I was involved in several financial dealings where he stumbled on much more than he likely had expected to find, such as photocopy of driver's license, my IRS Tax info - everything - along with clear indications I'm not poor.
I am desperate to find out if I need to purchase all new equipment - and if I go to that trouble and expense - how I can at least try to keep this enterprising and obsessive character out of my business.
I am currently a one man operation, but tend to build groups to work on my projects and I do not want to get deep into something without better security. My last site was an 18,000 page effort that was in the top 1/2% of all US sites (per Alexa) when it got hijacked, so I am suffering from a little PTSD and paranoia.
I will pay you any reasonable amount to help me by first consulting with me - and would go so far as to paying for some sort of unique platform/barrier if required to do so to work with the possibility of staying safe. At the moment I am on an HP ENVY laptop running windows 8.1 with McAfee and Intel's Reason Core.
One thing I am most worried about is that my hacker friend has found a way to "port" himself around to get info about whatever computer I am using, by having infiltrated my customized Chrome or FF browsers, somehow. If this were even possible, it might explain some of the odd info I have captured on screenshots.
I need to consult with somebody who can review these screenshots to say "Hey that's not possible" or "Yes you could have a problem - here is what we need to do" in order to help me eliminate some of the real and/or imaginary "holes" - you would be helping enhance the quality of my life as I have PTSD after losing my last effort (2 years and $100K)
I want to help others by way of a number of sites I have planned - but I need someone who can help 'steady my confidence' before embarking on these ventures.
Please help! I will be happy to compensate you in any manner and amount you believe is fair and reasonable.
If this isn't for you - perhaps you can point me towards the "right" person or company, but I'd be obliged if you could tell me one way or another. Communication outside of this site would be to tomrees.tom@gmail.com.
FYI if you are British - Interesting Family history
For what it's worth - my Godfather was Sir Archibald McIndoe, who was knighted for his pioneering surgical skills rebuilding the burned faces of those among the least lucky living RAF pilots after the Battle of Britain (repairing their facial burns and deformities from the hot engine oil blow-back). My father (Dr. Thomas Rees) studied under him and brought many techniques to the US which morphed into plastic surgery (he wrote the textbooks for 40 years) and he also co-founded The Flying Doctors (see AMREF.org) with Sir Archie and another Brit Dr. Mike Wood.
So you can plainly see - I'm desperate enough to be resorting to enticing help even by way of my distant ties to your country's history!
