Our company is based off of India. So, they can't really sue me, but I don't want things to turn ugly. I'll probably let them be. If possible write a few posts

I've been telling these guys that I don't work on illegitimate stuff from the start. And they were like: "yeah, fleecing people who are the most vulnerable sucks, totally". The only regret that I have, is that I have unknowingly helped a few bad guys.

Perhaps collecting a list of those about-to-be-scammed would be helpful to a district attorney? Regardless, I'd obtain counsel. An interesting thing happened to me about 5 years ago. Someone was applying for a position at my company, and when I did background checks, he turned out to be a rather deceitful fella (and felon). He made the mistake of emailing me from another company's email where he was employed. I followed up, and explained the legal status of their employee to the owner of the 10 person company. She was shocked (not surprised) to hear about their current employee. I can just imagine a case where our screening failed -- I'd want you to make that call...
