[Update: On August 25, Evans released a video blog in which he claims that we did not contact "the right departments" to verify he taught these classes. We invite Mr. Evans to publish his course work, lecture material or letters verifying his employment or teaching position.]
According to Evans' profile on blackexperts.com:
Mr. Evans currently teaches over twelve hi-tech crime courses, ranging from computer crime investigation and identity theft, to password cracking and recovery. These classes are taught throughout southern California at community colleges, universities and within city government. Some of these schools include Chaffey College, Santa Monica College, Irvine Valley College, Cal. State Los Angeles, Pepperdine University, Rancho Santiago College, and Cal State San Marcos.
Dave from hackerforhire.com sent e-mail to several colleges listed, asking for verification that Evans taught there. Note that the bio specifically says "currently teaches over twelve .. courses" and "These classes are taught..". This is distinct wording implying he is a regular teacher, not a guest lecturer or occasional speaker.
