Phony Trademark Alerts / Robo-Text Scam
I strongly advise any business owner to avoid Secure Mark Consulting. Their primary marketing tactic involves sending out unsolicited text messages falsely claiming that a third party is actively trying to register and steal your business's trademark. Concerned about my intellectual property, I immediately called the number provided in the text. The representative who answered had zero information about me, my business, or the supposed "threat" mentioned in the message. It is abundantly clear that they are blasting out automated robo-texts to scrape for victims using manufactured fear. Using deceptive, high-pressure lies to trick people into buying trademark services is as low as it gets. If you need help with a trademark, go to the official USPTO website or hire an independent, licensed attorney. Do not trust a company that relies on scamming you just to get you on the phone.
