So I am new to the ECCIE level of the hobby. I've actually been here less than a week, and have yet to actually see anybody through this site.
I found a provider on here that met my needs and contacted her through her website, which was linked through her showcase.
Her website asked that if I was to contact her that I should provide a reference. I did (phone and a link to reference's ad)
The provider wrote me back and asked for details about what services my reference provided.
This seems....not quite right to me...furthermore I have discovered that this provider has recently retired....and now the site in question appears to be down. Am I being paranoid or should I be posting the details of this in the alerts section? I'm leery of just jumping in because I am new enough here that it might appear that I am just a whackadoodle with a grudge.
