He offered to do some work for me, seemed pretty clued up on what he needed to do, I was paying a good price for an easy job (so he could have just done it) but decided he would try and take over my server and steal my bitcoins instead.
He gave my what was apparently his phone number and his ID card

Not sure if this is his or not but this scammer needs to be stopped.
In the end I just rebuilt the server... so no harm done really, bitcoins are bitcoins.
