this happens all the time, you cannot outsource to locations that have NO honor or rule of law.
These people will write down your info and take it and sell it.I get phillished all the time from indian IP address ranges and I never get any help from the ISP's, they are all in on it.
beware.

I've often wondered... if all FBI agents are 'special agents', do they recruit them in Lake Woebegone?

Speaking of, I've got a great deal on a new CAD product if anyone's interested.

It's called SolidVerks.

Corporations have been warned about this risk wrt outsourcing for many years. Most have chosen to ignore it and screw American citizens in the process in favor of sending the work overseas where it can be done cheaper. Screw 'em - they asked for it.

Globalists forget that little "rule of law" thing. The protection of law is the only thing that allows a capitalist free market system to work. Profit, which is really a form of property, is devalued (or even made valueless) if there is no expectation that it can be made secure.

Ensuring the security of property and the enforcement of contracts are just some of those little things, along with a defense, a judicial and a law enforcement infrastructure to make it work, that is assured to businesses in the US. All those business taxes and regulations do buy something useful after all.

I find it interesting to note who this company went to when they got in trouble in India -- the FBI! These companies feel no sense of loyalty to the American worker when they decide to outsource but go crying to the FBI when they need rescuing (on the US taxpayer's dime of course). I have no sympathy for companies who get into trouble in other countries because of outsourcing and I don't think we should be offering them any US taxpayer funded law enforcement assistance.

"In India, for example, there is no theft of trade secret law, Day says. India does have an IT act, she says, but it is mainly focused on copyright violations."

Some of my co-workers who are working in India are having a big problem explaining to their Indian colleagues that they shouldn't steal software routines from other vendors. They aren't quite getting it yet.

Thanks for the happy news!
