Apologies for not being clearer: I don't suspect a conspiracy here. The most likely untruthful version I can't rule out quite yet is that Hector himself wrote this specific post and now he's playing dumb, thinking he can fool us. Sorry Hector, I don't know you well enough to know whether or not you would be above something like that. I hope you would be, but transparency can be difficult in online businesses like this, and there are a lot of posers in this niche in particular -- so I hope you understand my insistence on the importance on verification. On another forum this would be a ridiculous request, but I think here at GC, we should hold ourselves to higher standards.
We should put to practice that old folk wisdom of "trust, but verify". If authenticity is verified, then up goes Hector's quality-assurance and honesty cred, and we can in that way help him attract more students. It's clear to me that Hector should contact Rickpage and work out a way of verification satisfactory to both parties' privacy while providing sufficient evidence to remove suspicion. Otherwise, there's always going to be this question mark.
One simple method could be for Rickpage to forward Chase key documentation of the services tendered between him and Hector while Hector was operating as an agent of GC Inc. -- like contracts, for example -- and then Chase can rubber stamp this thread as authentic or remove it if it is proven to be false.
And future testimonials could be verified in a similar way, as well, if other people so wish them to be verified -- at the very least when they come from a brand new user/account.
