GBO Inc, Trademark and Patent Dep Global Business Option, Inc Direct Mailer Scam - Soliciting to renew my trademark - beware Miami, Florida

9th of Dec, 2011 by User724390

I received a very suspicious direct mail letter from GBO Inc Trademark and Patent Dep. saying that they would renew my trademark for $960 if I sent a check to their business address or wire transferred money to Bank of America 1900 Tyler Street, Hollywood, FL 33020. My trademark was registered on September of 2008. I don't need to renew it till 2013 Anybody with more than two brain cells know that you directly renew trademarks United States Patent and Trademark Service. You don't need some scammy, fly by night liason service to renew a trademark. Also they are asking for more than 3 TIMES as much as it originally costs me to file the original trademark. I doubt they would even renew my trademark anyway. The letter I received was well structured and contained very "government" looking professional letterhead. It was customized to show my trademark/service mark on the letter. I could see possibly fooling some less informed trademark/patent owners out there. I did not send money nor attempted to contact this little shady operation. However I just want to warn others to not give into this scam.
