Question

Someone I thought of as a business partner said he filed us a 501 (3)(c) for our organization, turns out he didn't and as of lately disappeared. We haven't received donations but a similar organization is claiming we are using their name and idea (we weren't) and are saying they will prosecute me for fraud among other things. Not being able to get into contact with my shady partner I have stopped all efforts and taken down all websites nearly a week before this happened and now today I was informed by the similar company if I do not do as they ask they will prosecute me, is this even possible? Should I lawyer up for harassment or should I follow their demands? Either way the organization we were starting is now out the window, I just want to know if they are just yanking my chain with a scare tactic or what to do.



Answer

You should of course be discussing this in private with a lawyer. That said, no, they cannot prosecute you for anything only law enforcement can. They may or may not have any civil claims, but this should be the substance of you consult with a lawyer.

Answer

At the very least you should retain counsel who will review the claims and will respond with an equally serious tone. The company who is making the threats should understand that unless they have a valid legal claim, their threats could be causing you damages for which they might be liable. One additional point of information to keep your eyes on is your domain name. If your domain name resembles the other company's name it is possible that they might file an ICANN dispute which may risk your ownership of the domain.

As such you should consult with an attorney as soon as practicable. Please contact my office at your earliest convenience.
