Predatory mail, looking like federal OSHA form that “needs” to be filed. The form they reference is only needed for business that have employees and is simple and free to fill out online. Without elevated knowledge of phishing identification, the average new business owner would believe they need yo pay the $295 to OSHA, when in reality they are just going to mail you the OSHA manual, which can be obtained online, for free.

A letter was received advising of a 'FINAL NOTICE' requesting an 'IMMEDIATE RESPONSE REQUESTED' from the Home Warranty Department for the property's home warranty at (address referenced) secured by (mortgage company referenced) may be expiring or may have already expired. In calling (1/13/24) the referenced number (1-877-670-3352) to ask questions about the received letter the man that answered did not want to answer any questions (said I was being rude) and used scare tactics to sell me the product/home warranty coverage. The man referenced working in his garage and could hear a dog barking in the background. Did provide him with my credit card information, due to the scare tactics used, but will be contacting my credit card company about this matter.

I purchased services from Vista Logos to have them create a logo for an LLC and I paid to have this logo copyrighted. Now, approximately a year later, I am receiving calls and texts threatening that if I don't renew my logo (which I'm not using) that it will lead to legal consequences such as an infringement penalty of $75,000.

They stated my ownership of the logo has expired and I have three options: 1) Pay $352 to get a closure letter, 2) pay for a 5 year ownership or 3) pay for a lifetime ownership of $857. Unless I pay them, they'll move forward with a lawsuit with a penalty. of $75,000

The logo is not currently on any site and is not being used.

I received a medical bill totaling $2033.00 related to my wife's hospital stay. Upon calling the hospital and my insurance company the billing entity is a scam and has not relationship to the hospital or its physicians. I don't know how the scammer got my wife's dates of treatment, our home address, etc.

I hired the company to do my logo for 35.00. Once I received the files they told me it costs 800 to get it registered for a copyright. Today they came back and said that another business in NC has the same name and it will now cost 1665.00 to file another form to protect it. They discounted that to $550. I said I wish to cancel but now they say it costs $17000.00 to cancel. Some of this is in the attached email thread, some is by text. The odd thing is that Alex Marshall, who was supposedly the Assistant Manager of the design company is now claiming to be the Senior Paralegal and working directly with the US Patent and Trademark Office - he is the one asking for more $. I checked trustpilot and this behavior seems to be a thing with them https://www.trustpilot.com/review/logodesignscenter.com. Here are your files, we now need more $ to file them, then months later they come back and say there is a company in NC that has the same name (in my case there was not, as I checked with the state) and they are wanting more $ to file additional forms.

The attached is the email thread from today.

I have used Logoorb.com to help design my website. They emailed me bogus information supposedly from the ADA stating that I would be fined $100,000 if I did not update my website to the ADA compliance. They wanted to charge me to update my website to make it ADA-compatible.

My organization received a postal email from Optimized Digital Media (ODM). It contained an invoice for services that were never requested. This included Web SEO Record and Google Analytics Powered Keyword Monitor. It included a reference to a website we have not used for years. It was addressed to our CFO. We were unable to find a legitimate entity by this name using a Google search.

The scammers sent a fake “invoice” for domain services, that was paid even though the real domain services was provided by a different company all the time. Never responded to any email sent or form submitted. Most email addresses are not working.

Through the mail on 8/3/23, received a bill for $4,565.18 that was on white typewriter paper stock! Not professional looking at all! I called this billing customer service lady name Colleen B. Rose, Customer Account Rep level 2….fax line:717 884-7255! Her number 866-889-9968 Option 4! Had my husbands patient number on this form! Also, the doctors name he was going too for treatments! To send a check went to different location: BIR JV LLP, C/O Select Medical, 4714 Gettysburg Road, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055! Called my Insurance company on 8/30/23 and they said no such billing service sent them a bill concerning my husband! BUSTED

Same as previous posts - $299.00 registration fee voucher attached. It says the property is secured by Intercoastal Mtg Co. (there is no such company but there is an Intercoastal Mortgage LLC) and that the home warranty may be expiring soon. I don’t have a home warranty.

Scammer (C.P.S.) sent mail looking like official federal form requesting payment by a certain date citing OSHA violations and fines if action not taken.

Sent our company email stating an overdue balance of $879.95. Wanted to collect and ask if we would submit payment. Could reply back to email with a voided check or go online to pay with credit card. Had phone call from Lisa Brown wanting payment. Told her we had no invoice of what charge was for. She said she would email invoice and call back. She did just that. We received invoice stating Local SEO, Optimizing Online Presence $879.95 dated 3/10/2022. When told her we had no record of Commerce Publishing. She said we had done business starting in 2017. They would renew if not paid in full. If paid today amount would be $749.00. If we had done business with this company since 2017 wouldn't we have record of it?
