Description

On August 16, 2010, counsel for Colocation America and Mr. Albert Ahdoot sent a cease-and-desist letter [2] to Archie Garga-Richardson, the founder and operator of ScamFraudAlert.com [3]. ScamFraudAlert.com is a forum site that focuses on alleged Internet scams, security threats, and fraudulent practices.  The letter accused Garga-Richardson of trade libel and tortious interference with contractual relations, and demanded that he sign a statement (which was attached to the letter) retracting his comments.  The letter warned that if he did not sign the statement of retraction, Colocation America would file a civil complaint, which counsel also included with the letter, against him.

Update:

10/29/2010 - Colocation America filed suit [4] in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County.
