Thread: Has anyone heard of a recent teen death in a limo(alcohol related)?

  1. #1

    Default Has anyone heard of a recent teen death in a limo(alcohol related)?

    I recently got a call asking if it was my company that was involved in an alcohol related teen death. I said no, of course and asked about it. Supposedly, another company in California that has recently added, "Limo Kings" to their business, is being sued for being negligent and knowing about the alcohol. I say supposedly, because I have Googled it and found nothing. So my only guess is that it's BS, because I would think I would have heard more by now.

    I hate start gossip without a strong source, so I will say once again that it sounds like BS.

    But it got me thinking. Why would CPUC allow another company to use my company name? They are registered with the Secretary of State as an llc and I am just a sole proprietorship(currently). When I first heard about the other company using my name, I was upset. But I didn't see them as direct competition so I let didn't respond. But what happens if this alcohol related teen death is true and I start getting bad publicity?

    Please let me know what you think.

    As long as there is some variation they let it through.
    So
    The limo king
    the limo kings
    Limo king
    Limo kings
    Limo king transportation
    Etc.

    Can all be seperate companies.

    There are probably 14 variations of
    luxury limo
    Elegant limo
    Vip limo

    They can't force us to be creative!

    Thanks for the info, guys. Sad story. Well now I know why they switched names. But I really hope things don't affect me after the lawsuit.

    A slight variation may be enough to "get it through", but it's still not legal/legit. If they would have done a simple Google search, they would have seen me all over the front page doing business in California. And I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt that they are smart enough to have done that. So I assume they just didn't care.

    If anyone else out there is jealous of my good customer service/great reputation/great reviews, and is thinking of stealing my name, please choose one of these:
    1. Limo Queens
    2. Limo Clowns
    3. Limo Jesters
    4. Limo Thieves
    5. Limo Newbies
    6. Limo Friars
    7. Limo Bums
    8. Limo Whores
    9. Limo Cheats
    10. Limo Frauds
    11. Limo Jokers
    12. Limo Scumbags
    13. Limo Douchbags

    Just say'n!

    Hey Geoff, this is the private message I sent you in May last year....sorry that you are having some bad publicity over them stealing your name. Gary is correct. Good luck in your endeavor to keep your business name out of this. And you're right, they don't care.
