It would be nice to know whether or not you had a contract with the old company, or signed something granting the use of your likeness.
To me, it seems they are violating exceptions to the Anti-Competition laws enacted to protect the "good-will" of a company- that good will being your name and reputation which you worked for and earned. You may be entitled to penalty damages under the Unfair Business Practices Act (of up to $6,500 per day.)
Please contact me should you have any questions or concerns.
