First of all, I can tell that his email is [email protected] by clicking the Paypal verified link in the following thread:
https://www.forumkorner.com/thread-253601-post-2196402.html#pid2196402

Following this I preceded to search around and get some more info on the email. This is what I got:

Update: Sadly, this 2012 post is NOT old information. Updates from 2013, 2014 and 2015 are below...

An Australian teenager named Hugh Lockhart Huon Rengers has been attempting to defraud web hosts for the better part of two five years now. This high school college kid implores every trick he can conceive of -- a limited imagination, I assure you -- in order acquire Windows VPS/dedicated servers for a video game. Whether he's pretending a sibling has died in a recent natural disaster, or simply giving a "whoa is me, I'm so poor" sob story, he spams hosting support desks and forums on a regular basis.

This thread serves as a warning to all hosts. Attached screenshots provide quite a bit of evidence.

Hello Hosters,

My name is Vipin and I own Guesshost Technologies in India.
Today I came across a person who call himself as a HughyDee or Hughy Lockhart or Huggy Houn ([email protected]) FB:https://www.facebook.com/HughyDEE123

Recently I have posted a post for business partner here: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1205071
as I'm getting out of budget so I'm looking for a business partner who can invest with me in business and we shall be Legal partners if everything goes smooth on both sides.

But this person refused to invest till he trust me (Its a common I wont complaint on this), then he started asking me server access details,
I refused to give access atm and said I can create his WHMCS Admin account but he started forcing and annoying me to make him my business partner legally.

Code:
Hughy Dee: Ill sue you, take you too court, write very bad things about you everywhere plus a whole lot **** more, i highly doubt you want that - I will do that RIGHT NOW, if you dont make me a legal partner ? (6:03 PM)
Vipin: y should I make you? (6:03 PM)
Hughy Dee: Bcos u should (6:03 PM)
no more, no less (6:03 PM)
its simple, make me a partner (6:04 PM)
Lol I cant stop laughing at his sentences
he say him a Aussie and and I cant understand how Aussie can do a grammatical errors.

lol..
I did some Research about this person on WHT then I came to know he annoyed many persons to get free windows VPS.


Regards,
Vipin

3) There's also a Skidpaste if you search it.

After search his other alternative emails I found a lot more that you can look at for yourselves. I'm just warning you, don't deal with this guy. 

At this point I'm questioning why he has gained so much rep even though he appears to not have any vouches (https://www.forumkorner.com/thread-253610.html)

Deal with a shitload of caution or just don't deal at all.

Side note: This was requested by @Philly after my post was removed due to sales trashing.

Damn. You did your research dude big congrats to you!
Thanks for the warning anyway!

[Agony]

Hmm.

Really all I have to say about this.

 

[Seven]

He messaged me asking to be my business partner a few days ago. Also, the messages he types up are typed exactly like the scammer. And to top it off, his FK IP locates to the same place from the IP posted on the warning.

 

[CortexNetworks]

@seven - How can i have the Same IP, there are MILLIONS of people in this world, they properly recirculate IP's around, furthermore yes i am located in Australia. Also i am Looking for a Business Partner for my Company, that is why im asking a Few people about the Business Proposal as i am looking for the right Business Partner. Lastly how am i a Scammer, if i have (A) A Verified, Legal and Registered Business In Australia - and - (B) I have a Verified and Business Paypal Account. If i was a scammer, they would know and not Verify my accounts, nothing. So please tell me ?

 

[Seven]

Anyone can get a verified business Paypal... Maybe people charge you $5, and they will setup a WHOLE VERIFIED PAYPAL FOR YOU. And for the registered business, I would like to see that. Even if you do, the government (I am assuming) does not know what you do behind your closed doors. It isn't like you are going to openly tell them you scam people.

 

[CortexNetworks]

@seven - No and i am telling you right now, i would never scam no-one, i do not know how to scam and i would never like to now how to scam. I am a Good and Honest Person, here to the right thing, do a Good honest Business. Im here to help and be happy with everyone, be honest and not try to lie or cheat the system in anyway, now im starting to get upset, because i hate fighting and i hate this issue, it keeps on coming back to bite me. Anyway, Now Setting up a Business Verified Paypal account is a Long Process, Paypal is governed by the Australian Government to do checks on the account, such as your not a scammer, or hacker or apart of money laundering rings before they even consider setting up your Verified Business Paypal account, they do extensive checks aswell. So if i was a Scammer, Paypal and Australian Government would defiantly find-out and i would not have my Business Verified Paypal Account or even my Registered and Legal Business in Australia ""Cortex Hosts"".

 

[Gen]

Seems like you've done quite a bit of research into this, gj Max, hopefully this stops people from potentially being scammed.

 

[Pause]

@CortexNetworks = its pretty odd that you asked @Seven to be business partners, and ur ip is located in Australia. it just seems kinda odd ..

 

[CortexNetworks]

@Gen and @Pause - I am here to NOT scam no-one at all. I am here to do a honest Business, pure and Simple. Ive asked a few people of there interested on a Business Partner/ Proposal, so no it cannot be Odd at all.

Also Guys all im doing here at FK and Other Forums, im trying to do a Honest, Genuine, not scamming at all Business. Yet i just get bombarded with this crappy past that is not true at all, and keeps on haunting me. Come on guys, here me out what im saying, im here to do a Genuine, Legit, Legal Business here. Anyway everyone, ive been upfront and totally honest with you, is this just going to keep on going around and around in circles or not, can we please Sort this out Professionally and in a Professional manor. I would LOVE to get this fixed and resolved so i can move on with my business please. So does anyone have any questions at all, i can clarify and fix with them. Please ask me, ill be happy to respond, im eager to fix this issue ASAP ?

Hi cortex... we already know each other... found this and really impacted me as i was searching for info about himself and vouches about company. This was my treat with him in other forum:
I had the situation explained bellow with him and tried to post my vouch in his thread, also -rep him for this. The -rep and post got deleted, hopefully i had copy of the post, this is what i wrote:

ALERT: THIS IS NOT FREE
 
Now he edited it and added but this wasn't written before:
 
    PAYMENT TERMS: Yes this Shared Hosting is Free only for 2 MONTHS. then you can Either Cancel your Order or pay Month By month, its your Choice.
 
After asking he for this "free" giveaway i had to create the order several times. I didn't mind as i was not going to pay but if i were a normal costumer i would have felt kind of scammed or lack of professionallity.
Nevertheless this wasn't what made me create this post was that after asking several times if it was free and got a yes as answer he told me i had to pay afterwards:
 
    Today, i am very happy to [...]. We are giving away 2 FREE Months on our Shared Hosting Plans [...]. for the First 15 Users or Staff to post here will get a Free Shared Hosting Plan with us, if your one of the First 15 People, then please Register and make an Account at ""Cortex Hosts"", do an order on any of the Shared Hosting plans but Do NOT pay and ill Verify and accept the order, please also post or PM me aswell.

    [...] Or you can get a Free Subdomain, such as - DomainName.cortexhosts.com || Or you can Register these Domain (TLDs) at ""Cortex Hosts"" for Free, please see below:
 
When i uploaded a file i couldn't see it so i asked him for help and he agreed to help me. As it was looking too suspicious i asked again if it was free he said:

    [14:47:43] me: but is this free?
    [14:47:57] John [Founder @ Cortex Networks]: Yes its FREE for the First 2 Months
    [14:48:02] John [Founder @ Cortex Networks]: Then u have to pay after 2 Months
 
After this i told him to please cancel my order as i didn't need this and told him he should say this also in this thread and this is what he answered me:
 
    [14:48:34] John [Founder @ Cortex Networks]: So you want me to Delete and cancel your Order now then
    [14:48:39] me: yes please
    [14:48:42] John [Founder @ Cortex Networks]: Ok
    [14:48:57] me: sorry for the inconveniences
    [14:49:36] John [Founder @ Cortex Networks]: Ok no issues
    [14:49:43] John [Founder @ Cortex Networks]: tahnks again for Trying Cortex Hosts
    [14:50:09] me: and you should say that you need to pay 2 months afterwards in the thread as it is  not mentioned
    [14:50:45] John [Founder @ Cortex Networks]: Umm yes it is
    [14:50:51] John [Founder @ Cortex Networks]: You just not read it Correctly
    [14:51:56] John [Founder @ Cortex Networks]: read with your eyes
    [14:51:59] John [Founder @ Cortex Networks]: holy cow
    [14:52:04] John [Founder @ Cortex Networks]: its in plain english
    [14:52:40] me: can you please say me where you say you have to pay?
    [14:52:52] John [Founder @ Cortex Networks]: you pay after 2 free months
    [14:52:57] John [Founder @ Cortex Networks]: holy fuck are you stupid
    [14:53:14] John [Founder @ Cortex Networks]: its very obvious
 
He started to treat me in a bad manner. I blocked him afterwards kind of pissed off.

This is the treat i had with "cortex networks", not at all good.

He also -rep me in the forum btw...

Everybody should note this, @CortexNetworks is not a user you should be dealing with. In reply to all of his excuses, he uses the exact same grammar as his so called 'hacker'.
EDIT: Lmao, he neg repped me.

"My name is John Lockhart, not Hugo or Hugh"

"I was doxed in 2010 so this information is null"

The above picture clearly shows the post is from 2012, 2 years after your supposed dox. It also links to you doing the same thing as recently as this year.

Sorry man, looks like you will never escape your past. You're even trying to con @seven and the other members of this site.
As Seven stated, it's easy to obtain a verified PayPal. People sell them for a couple dollars. You've shown no proof of this "registered business" you own. Anyone can run a website and claim they're a registered business.

Perhaps next time you give this a go you try with a new name altogether, and drop the e-mail address you've been using for this con since 2012 or earlier.
Goodbye!
