Advice/Opinion Needed on Legal Issue

[QKF]

My friend is on an H1 and working with a Software Dev Firm in Texas.

He is also helping an acquaintance back in India on his business deals as and when it happens with US Companies. My friend is not a partner nor does the company in India pay him. The Indian company he is helping claims on its website that my friend is the contact person in Texas, US and he (they) have an office in Texas (my friends residence), though they really don’t have any such office location nor are do they have any business license in US. The Indian company got into a business deal with a US Company and did not deliver the goods on time. Now the US company is going after my friend on the basis of the information shown (my friends address & contact information) on the Indian companies website. My friend has nothing to do with this nor was he aware of this business deal between the folks in India and the US Company.

Can the US Company go after my friend, my friend is not a partner, nor an employee of the Indian Company, the only thing which shows his link with the Indian company is his name & contact information on their website, nor does my friend get paid, he is only doing a favor on the folks back in India.

What should my friend do, the folks back in India are not responding, can he contact the web site hosting company and ask them to remove his contact information, what should he tell the US Company.

Any feedback is eagerly awaited.

Thanks
