PART II
When I pressed him, he suggested that I check the deleted emails, which I already had done. When I kept pressing him, he asked me exactly what kind of information I needed in particular? I told him that I wanted to have the full message back. He offered to text me the video and the pre call FAQ, which he did (only the latter, not the former).
Then, he asked me if that would be good enough for me? -"So far, so good", I answered. He said: "Ok. Fine. Good Bye", and he hung up on me.
A call that was supposed to last 15 minutes, lasted less than 4. Very suspicious, isn't it?
On June 20th, 2024 I requested information on social media about some technology education they were advertising. I was asked for my phone number, and shortly after, they sent me a text message from 1-866-229-6962 to remind me of a call meeting that I would have with Daniel Reyes, a representative of Flatiron, a school in New York that offers software engineer courses. I did have the call meeting with him, and everything went smoothly.
Today, Tuesday, October 8th, 2024, I again requested information on social media about some technology education they were advertising. Again, I was asked for my phone number, and again, shortly after, they sent me a text message from 1-866-229-6962 to remind me of a call meeting that I would have with Jorge Cuervo, a representative of dataengineeracademy.com
I immediately realized that both, the Flatiron School and dataengineeracademy.com used the same number to text me, which to me, is kind of odd, since, supposedly, they both are different organizations.
Another thing that seemed very odd to me, was the fact that they sent me some kind of email, or text, or private message via instagram (I don't remember), that provided information about the academy and the courses they offered, and which included a "pre-call FAQ". Such message disappeared after a while.
When Jorge Cuervo called me, I immediately asked if they were **sociated with Flatiron School, and told him about how I received a text message reminding me of the call meeting that I had back on June 20th, from the same number dataengineeracademy.com texted me from.
He said that they don't have any relationship, and probably they both "coincidentally have the same number", an insult to my intelligence. Then, I asked him about the disappearing message, but he acted like he didn't really knew what I was talking about. I told him that that message included a video, the pre-call FAQ, and some other information I was reading about when it disappeared, again, he deflected.
This was SUPPOSED TO BE www.ipqs.com sending me a reminder for a online meeting but instead after looking up the number, it is the militia group that calls themselves ‘Unidentified’ OR ‘Unidentifiable’ THAT HAS BEEN STALKING ME FOR 5 1/2 years!!!! I know who they are, what they want, but don’t know exactly where they are!!! The local authorities WILL NOT HELP ME!!! I’ve sent out emails to different news media outlets but my emails get REDIRECTED back to me!!!! #CIA #FBI #NSA #DepartmentOfDefense #HomelandSecurity #HomegrownTerrorism
