Description

On March 27, 2009, 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 defamation, trade libel, and tortious interference with contractual relations, and demanded "notice of retraction as to all web postings and a notice that you intend to cease and desist from all further such libelous criminal and wrongful conduct within 24 hours."  The letter does not specify any allegedly defamatory or otherwise tortious statements.

Update:

4/22/2009 - Colocation  America filed suit in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County.
