Type of a scam Phishing
Stellar Trademark presents itself as a legal firm that provides various trademark and copyright services. However, its elaborate website acts as a facade to run an ongoing scam targeting business owners across the country.
The scam starts with an official-looking email signed by someone claiming to be an Intellectual Property Attorney from Stellar Trademark. The email informs recipients that their business name, trademark, or slogan is not registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and that someone intends to file an application to register it.
This creates a false sense of urgency, pressuring recipients to take immediate action. Stellar Trademark offers to provide their services, such as filing for a trademark or monitoring existing marks, for substantial fees. They use more high-pressure tactics to get recipients to pay up.
However, Stellar Trademark does not actually provide these services legitimately or ethically. They do not file proper trademark registrations or follow lawful processes. They simply abscond with people’s money, shut down their website, and disappear without assisting clients.
The Stellar Trademark scam is orchestrated in several key stages:
Stage 1: Unsolicited Emails Set the Trap
The first step is sending unsolicited emails to business owners essentially saying their company name or trademark is at risk. Emails appear to come from an individual named Brian Williams representing Stellar Trademark.
The emails are well-written and professional-sounding. Often, signature lines identify the sender as an “Intellectual Property Attorney” to give the impression the communication is from a law firm.
Stage 2: False Sense of Urgency Pressures Recipients
The content of emails creates a false sense of urgency by claiming that Stellar Trademark has discovered someone intends to file an application to register your trademark or business name with the USPTO.
Of course, the chances random people are trying to register others’ established business trademarks are extremely slim. But this threat pressures recipients to take protective actions.
Stage 3: Services Offered to “Help” Solve the Issue
After setting up a scary situation, the scam email goes on to market Stellar Trademark’s services as solutions. Services offered include:
Trademark registration
Trademark monitoring
Copyright registration
Other unnecessary intellectual property services
Stage 4: High Pressure Tactics Push Recipients to Pay
If recipients respond to the initial scam email, Stellar Trademark salespeople use more high-pressure tactics to push them to pay high fees for services.
They emphasize the dangers of not registering trademarks and make inflated claims about the values of their offerings. This scares recipients into believing paying these fees is essential to protecting their business names and marks.
Stage 5: Services Never Materialize After Payment
Once recipients pay up, the scam is complete. Stellar Trademark simply disappears with their money.
They never file trademarks with the USPTO or provide any long-term monitoring, protection, or other services. Any “evidence” they send claiming trademarks were filed is fake.
Often the company shuts down their website shortly after taking peoples’ money. They become impossible to reach, having already absconded with funds.
