Oct 31 2022 - Received a text message "REGISTRY, Motorists who qualify are being mailed a $306.94 check. To verify and fill out the form, reply "Yes". I typed yes only to be sent an address: motoristsalberta.com

Went to the site and it's a form requesting full name, sin, address, drivers license number, audit number on license....this is serious so needed to report it asap before too many people are scammed.

After you file an LLC, this company mails you an official-looking letter stating that you have to purchase a labor law poster or you will be fined up to $7,000. It is NOT required to order this. It targets new, small businesses and the letter looks official like it’s from the government.

A man called me from this company stating that By federal law I need to update And pay $200 that they work for the government. We do not have any commercial vehicles on the road even if we did this would not apply.

He insisted that I must pay for that I would be fined and they keep sending me letters that I would be fined if I did not comply with them they are a middleman type of agency Imposing that they work for the governmentI don’t know where they came from

I had received this contact from City Hall Valencia, CA USA.

I’m going to become homeless and I’m in need of housing.

They mentioned I needed to be homeless on thee streets before they could give me housing.

It is illegal for USA to have people on thee streets. By which it is common sense of thee thee law to save people prior entering thee streets.

Especially in this weather. Of high heats.

Thereby which I believe they are false representative of USA law and government officials.

Victim was contacted by a "Deputy Scott" who informed them that there was an arrest warrant out for having missed federal grand jury duty and that the USM failed to obtain their signature. Victim knew this was false because they work from home and does not recall the event "Deputy Scott" described. Scott told victim he could go down to 515 Rusk Ave in Houston, TX, to verify their signature, or they could go to Kroger and purchase a MONEY PAK and provide the 14 digit code to Scott over the phone for the fine of $1500. Scott stated he had a Maintain Contact Order (MCO), which meant that the victim could not hang up until they provided the digits from the Money Pak or the fine would double or they would be arrested. The victim complied and kept Scott on the phone with him for 2 hours while he purchased the cards. The victim bought three cards for $500 apiece. The odd thing was that Scott provided (713) 755-5200, which is the actual number for the Harris County Constable's Office Precinct 1, as a call back number and requested the victim to call him back for verification. The victim called the number (713) 755-5200 and Scott answered on the first ring. Afterwards, when the victim figured out they had been scammed, they called the Harris County Constable Precinct 1 number (713) 755-5200 and no one answered. Finally after numerous attempts dispatch answered.

Trademark Emergent poses online as a legit company with lawyers to help you file your Trademark application with the USPTO. I contacted them online and spoke to a representative there who advised me that I would need to file my trademark in 4 classes and I would not have any conflicts. They charged me $350 for the filing and then $350 per class for the trademark applications. 3 weeks later, I started recieving calls from the "USPTO" (come to find out not really), saying there is another applicant with the same business name who has an application, and if I would like to proceed I would need to trademark my Logo as well in all 4 classes. Then there were additional fees incurred- total $6000 additional needed! This sounded strange to me, so I called the USPTO direct line and spoke to their customer service. I was informed by the USPTO that they had filed for 1 class, not 4. Total cost should have been $350. They charged me $1750. Also, not only was there no conflict or addtl money requested, but they hadn't even assigned an attorney to it yet! I spoke to Trademark Emergent (Jennifer Smith) many times, she had me pull up the legitimate USPTO website so everything looked legitimate. THEY ARE A SCAM! I can only imagine how many people they are doing this to... shameful!
