I last wrote about this over a year ago and you can find that post about TechMedica right here.

Recently I’ve been getting comments on my original post which lead me to believe that the company is coming apart. I’m also occasionally searching for references to the company on other blogs which leads me to stuff like this about TechMedica.

The first comment on there surprised me, one for citing me, and two for showing something that I seemingly stumbled upon on my own but they also noticed. Truth be told I may have read it earlier, filed it away, then subliminally searched for it myself tonight. I cannot say for sure.

From the TechMedica company webpage I took this snapshot:

Note the address in the caption. This differs slightly (as in every single fuckin digit) from the address in the picture.

Take a gander at the lovely water. Thats gotta be a sight in Los Vegas, Nevada! Especially when you consider what the area looks like according to the address when you map it out with satelite images in Google Maps:

Hmm, not much water there. Lots of asphalt, not much water.

So, what happens when you look up the address for TechMedica in Grand Rapids, MI via Google? You find that their building indeed had the address of that in the picture, complete with body of water out front.

Why lie about the location? I’m not sure, but if I had to take a guess, and my guess is biased, I’d say it was done simply because the founder/president/whatever role he plays in the company, Tony Pham, is a pathological liar.

I could see lieing about the primary business location if you were a scammer in the middle of some slum in a 3rd world country, but I don’t see why it would be a bad thing to inform customers that you’re located in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Hell, look at the picture! Not a bad place!

Why lie about something so non essential? Why make it so obvious? Anybody with half a clue knows that a) bodies of water in Las Vegas are rare, and b) lush pine trees aren’t found in the area. You should note that off to the right of the building in the original picture there’s one sitting there.

I’m going to try and stay on top of this one. It could get interesting, and I’m vastly fascinated that people have picked up my blog on this subject when it was only something I’ve briefly visited on here.

Update: Comments are closed. I’m sick of people astroturfing here.

I’m sure you’ve all heard, so I won’t spend much time of this topic. That is, at least for now. I might poke at it, but for now I’m going to keep quiet because emotions are running high at this point.

Even mine.

Still I can’t resist giving a quick honest opinion: I wish this fuck would have used a shotgun, but revsered the order of executions, starting with himself first.

There.

What I do plan on looking at, after I’ve thought about it more, is why colleges are excellent tagerts of opportunity. What I will not be harping on is their tendency to ban the carrying of arms in dorms and classrooms, or even state policies that forbid such.
