Not sure where to post this. I received an order on my website from a Robert Bell in San Jose, CA. I tried to e-mail him and the e-mail he entered doesn't exist. I called the phone number he entered but it was a "wrong number". If he is a member of this forum or someone here knows him please have him contact me. I've had transposed numbers before but e-mail and phone seems to be a red flag to me. I'm writing him a letter but thought just maybe he is a new member here.
Thanks, John

I agree .... be very careful ...
Especially if there is a credit card involved ... Call the credit card company to verify it is good card.

Let's see here ....
I found a Robert Bell in San Jose who works (appears so) at Cisco Systems. Their information is:
Robert Bell Cisco Systems 170 West Tasman Drive San Jose, CA 95134-1706
I also found 1 (one) listing in San Jose.
Robert J Bell 719 Willow Glen Way San Jose, CA 95125-1870 (408) 293-4298
Hope this helps a bit
Julie

Thanks Julie I found the Willow Glen one also. Neither of those are the address or phone number provided. I really hate when companies don't answer e-mails so this is driving me crazy.

Hey, now don't take this the wrong way, but don't you think it is rather risky posting someone (whom you do not know) full contact details on an open forum? Just think of the potential security problems this could cause, not to mention their right to privacy. Here is the first line from the Cisco Privacy Policy - Cisco is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience.Perhaps you should oblige them and remove their personal details. I'm not a spoil sport nor a politically correct person by any means, but try and think how you would feel if a person unknown to you started posting your contact details all over the world.

Rogue Trader .... I agree with you 100% about posting information that could be considered a violation of any privacy act .... HOWEVER
The information I found was found in/on public domain sites ...
I did not hack into any system or pay any particular service to search out this information.
This gentleman (Bell) ... if one searches whitepages.com .... he can be found
Cisco Systems happens to be a very reputable company (that has been around for years) and can also be found in whitepages.com.
Now ... the disclaimer you cited (and posted) is in fact Cisco's disclaimer for any information it obtains/maintains in regards to its customers, vendors, or employees. This disclaimer is not a public disclaimer or pledge.
I would never at any cost post any information that I knew to be private, confidential, or anything else that could hinder, defame, or bring any negative attention to anyone or any company.
One member here asked a question about a particular individual ... all I did .... was search public areas of the web that are available to all .... and therefore are not considered confidential and private by any definition within any privacy act or provision.
But ...... I have to give you credit for rising to the situation and questioning those that could be questionable in their methods or tactics in obtaining and supplying others with possible private information.
