I am being SCAMMED after paying $35 for a simple logo a year ago. Here is an email in Sept 2025 trying to extort me: At the time of delivering your project, we submitted your logo and business name for federal examination as part of the standard compliance process for intellectual property protection. This was done to ensure you held exclusive rights to your brand and to prevent any unauthorized use in the future.However, the $999.00 payment associated with this process — which you previously agreed to — was later disputed from your side after the funds had been received. This dispute is on record and, combined with the pending federal file, places this matter in a legally sensitive state.As a licensed design agency, we are obligated to respond to the federal office to either:1. Complete the registration so your logo and business name are protected under federal law.2. Cease the utilization of the business name and artwork so we can officially remove your name from the claimant, closing the file and ensuring there are no legal sections, tax liabilities, penalties, renewal obligations, or compliance actions in the future.Please be aware that under U.S. trademark law, continued use of unregistered intellectual property that is under pending examination without settlement can lead to violations under:• 15 U.S.C. § 1114 – Trademark infringement.• 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a) – False designation of origin.• 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c) – Dilution of a trademark.If this matter remains unresolved, the federal authorities will recognize your name once the compliance records are updated. Without closure, the file remains active, and our evidence of your unfaithful withdrawal of the $999.00 payment further strengthens the case against you, leaving you liable for potential damages up to $75,000.00 plus legal fees.We are willing to settle this matter amicably without escalation if you contact us immediately to complete the pending action. Failure to respond will force us to proceed with formal legal filings.Kindly give me a call today so we can resolve this matter and avoid unnecessary consequences.Regards,Lucas Francis | Head of Legal affairsDirect Line: (929)Website:
