Hi, I'm hoping to get a status update, I am still unable to bid on any contracts, I have lost so many

Hi, I was hoping I could get a status update, I have missed bidding on so many contracts, and 

everything I have worked for in my career has literally come to a halt because of this fraud. My company 

has a great reputation and has a lot of public data proving my solutions work, and can help with a lot of 

things the government needs.

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:40

#ConnectSupport: also, i have the text message saying that he was going to upload the articles of 

incorporation to SAM, the articles of incorporation are fraudulent, and are missing 2 pages that do not 

contain my signature

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:39

#ConnectSupport: Okay, I will document that in the ticket so tier 3 can look into that also.

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:38

#ConnectSupport: we have never been disadvantaged, and he has done this to fraudulently avoid taxes, 

and gain contracts

#ConnectSupport: Where we do not manage the DUNS website the DUNS report is something I can not 

validate or give much information on.

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:35

#ConnectSupport: SAM is no payment system. Other sites pull SAM data to send payments. So maybe 

a contract they already had sent a payment. I can not confirm that though where SAM does not 

coordinate any payments.

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:34

#ConnectSupport: thats so strange why this transaction would appear

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:33

#ConnectSupport: When you see the entity you can click view details.

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:32

#ConnectSupport: If you go to SAM, click search records, enter the DUNS into the quick search, click 

search button, it will say no records found, click inactive on the left hand side, click apply filters, and you 

can see the entity.

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:31

#ConnectSupport: i'm scanning some docs right now

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:30

#ConnectSupport: It shows the entity become active on 2/11/2019 and expired on 2/06/2020 so nothing 

has been done since then.

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:29

#ConnectSupport: can you tell me when he renewed

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:28

#ConnectSupport: Okay, thank you. I will make sure tier 3 reviews that DUNS report also.

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:27

#ConnectSupport: yes i'll upload some more documents right now

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:26

#ConnectSupport: that is what shows up in the DUNS report

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:25

#ConnectSupport: I will be sending this to tier 3 for review and I will put the severity level on urgent for 

you. If you want upload any documents that might help tier 3 you can do so by clicking the paper clip 

icon.

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:24

#ConnectSupport: I can not see when he lasted logged in. It just shows he was the last person to renew 

and the registration expired at that time. So he should not been able do any contracts or grants since 

2/06/2020 where it has expired.

#ConnectSupport: It expired on 2/06/2020.

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:21

#ConnectSupport: I paid for the DUNS credit report

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:20

#ConnectSupport: yes, I can see the registration expired as well, but 04/2020 there was a payment of 

$250 made by Zroblack to a public administration office

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:19

#ConnectSupport: Let me check here.

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:18

#ConnectSupport: can you tell me the last time the Zroblack Sam account was updated please

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:17

#ConnectSupport: I see the registration expired so as of right now he should not be able to use that 

DUNS number until it gets renewed.

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:16

#ConnectSupport: My biggest concern is that he is making transactions with my government ID because 

I have never had access to the SAM System

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:15

#ConnectSupport: Okay, I will send this to tier 3 so they can review this issue. The tier 3 team will 

contact you back through email if they need any of that information. If you feel like you need attach any 

documents right now you can and they will be able see the attachments. If you ever need access you 

can do a notarized letter that we offer to gain access. The tier 3 team will advise how to proceed with 

getting access.

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:14

#ConnectSupport: I have sent multiple password reset requests to je@zroblack.com in an attempt to 

prove he has access, and I cannot access the SAM govt system

#ConnectSupport: my attorneys can send them to you if necessary

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:12

#ConnectSupport: I can provide all legal documents

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:11

#ConnectSupport: yes, he would not approve it, the email associated is je@zroblack.com and he has 

held the email and domain hostage and renewed the domain as well for now over a year

Auto-Response 2020-06-25 16:18:10

#ConnectSupport: I see John Saenz was the last person to renew the registration. If you sent a role 

request to become the admin you are advising he would not approve it?
