[Asterisk-biz] Fraud Alert: CGC Technologies (HK) Limited& Digiumchina.com

[Mark Phillips]

Not only that but "digiumchina" is not "digium". Many companies have 
found that they cannot persue legal action against so called "name 
pirates" because of a variance in the name chosen by the pirate.

I've been through this with a previous employer, Royalblue. The employer 
fired one of the leading sales men whom in turn went out and registered 
a company called "Royalblue (America) Inc". Said person then went after 
consulting work in the same market as his former employer.

A New York Judge threw the case out before the opening arguments had 
even begun. The Judge's take was that anyone was free to call themselves 
what they wanted and to persue work wherever they so chose.

The guy is doing quite well for himself today and employs a number of 
former Royalblue employee's all of whom were at one time fired by 
Royalblue. Royalblue have tried to impose a non compete agreement upon 
its staff in a bid to thwart the salesman but even that has been thrown 
out in a New York court.
