According to Americas Watchdog, "We are strongly encouraging corporations that value their products, and reputations to join forces with us, in order to put those who steal your product, out of business, in jail, or both. Hiring a former agent from the FBI, or waiting for global law enforcement to help, is a pipe dream. With a serious global recession looming, corporations cannot just sit by, while someone else makes & resells their product. The epicenter of all of this is China and India." The group is warning that pharmaceutical companies and tobacco companies are at particular risk because counterfeit drugs, or tobacco product counterfeiting is a $100 billion+ a year business. Corporate General Counsels or CEO's can call the Global Piracy & Counterfeiting Consultants anytime at 866-714-6466 or visit their Web site at http://GP-CC.com. (PRWeb Aug 21, 2008)
