I reached out to this company via email & I believe I was called back to start the conversation. They quickly upsold me from my original interest in just pursuing a logo design to getting me to buy a much larger offering that comes with a website and support and marketing...... That was a $150 inquiry that jumped to around a $1,200 purchase. Once I had created a logo I wanted to trademark, they were to submit that logo and my business name to the USPTO. They told me about all these fees that were mandatory to be paid for the application purpose & that they did not make any money on that part of the process. Those were lies. Before the trademark application was submitted, I was getting calls from a new PM with their outfit, (Moses Shalam [email protected] ) and he was pressuring me to pay another $2,500 in fees for the application process. I told him no & they put Ben Spectre ([email protected]) on from their "legal" department to discuss the matter with me more. I pushed them off for weeks while they still pursued that money, they pushed me for another $1000 server fee for the website creation. I eventually found out it was a complete scam from the USPTO & that 99 Logo Design had doctored a USPTO letterhead adding their own verbiage and showing the fees they wanted to collect for themselves. Here I am 6 months later with a $4,000 logo design that has a TM submission, and that is it. No reimbursement response to my complaints, no further effort being done to do work. I did see that my TM application was submitted by an email address that is [email protected] I consider my money lost at this point, but I want to help other people avoid falling victim to this company's scams and hopefully shut them down.
