1) He did not trust the source, and questioned the authenticity.
2) He actually called him out on BS when he continued&lt;p&gt;The first false message from Joe is interesting, but once Rob replies, and Joe continues trying to push the lie, that&apos;s a little dick&apos;ish. The second Rob replied, with his first, and extremely professional response, I would have apologized/congratulated him, and explained what I was doing.&lt;p&gt;Continuing the charade invites deserved anger. I don&apos;t like being lied to either, especially when I know the person was lying and keeps pushing the lie.</text></comment>
