Scammers
Got an email saying I had 24 hours to respond or someone else would trademark my business name. A quick look at their “office” address showed a housing estate in Galway. Not exactly the kind of place I picture handling €70k+ trademark portfolios.
Ignored it. Then came a second email with a fresh 24-hour ultimatum. Nonsense scam behaviour. So I asked them to call me and at least waste their own time. After a chat with the unlikely named “Patricia Caroline Smith”, I told her to go ahead and file the trademark against me and let me know when I needed to rebrand. Unsurprisingly, I have not heard back.
These types of emails are doing the rounds. Be vigilant. Real legal processes do not arrive with a 24-hour countdown clock in your inbox.
