Got a concerning phone call demanding that I pay over $1000 for increased protection for my trademark after submitting application- scam?
I literally just submitted an application last night, I get a call today from a guy with an Indian accent demanding over $1000 to enhance the security for my trademark (re adding on goods and services to the original application) and he wants me to wire it to this media firm in Texas.
I also got an email from an address that was not a .gov address…
He wanted me to wire the money before I hung up the call.
This is absolutely a scam right? First time trademark filer here.
