Is it illegal or can I be sued for going into a dumpster and retrieving an unshredded client list or sales receipts and then calling the clients to offer at a cheaper price? My competitions manager has called to let me know that a couple of his customers have called to return some orders. He is accusing me of buying a list from one of his ex employees that are under contract, and that he is going to get a TRO on me at the court house, but if I will tell him who sold me the list he will not persue any further. Do I have any concerns here?
