Yes. Actually, you need to tread carefully. Someone could have opened a 
company legally anywhere
in the USA using the name NEWFOUND ELECTRONICS, and this dealer could be 
just as much
a victim here as Jim is. Legal trade names can be registered in any 
county in the US and the names
can be used anywhere in the world, yet still be 100% legal.

I was under the impression that NEWFOUND ELECTRONICS itself was no 
longer in business, as
I thought I saw a notice last year to that effect. This might have 
encouraged people to try to "steal"
the name. I think this is appalling- and is in very poor taste-.. but 
might not be illegal, at least in the
USA.
