<p>Let's see if I follow you on this. The scammer went to the
trouble of looking up the phone number of the client (how does one
even look up phone numbers these days?) and used that phone number
to contact the client?</p>
<p>I suppose the client might have some online presence such as a
web site, with a phone number in it.</p>
<p>But wow. The scammer would go to this extra trouble? <br>
</p>
<p>Until now what I have been communicating to clients, when we file
a trademark application, is that they will be getting scam letters
in the mail. And I go out of my way to avoid including a client
phone number in anything that I file, just as you do.</p>
<p>But now I guess what I have to do is add another sentence to the
warning, namely to watch out for scam phone calls as well.</p>
<p>Dang it.</p>
<p>Thank you for posting.<br>

hope this email finds you well. We are writing to address a
time-sensitive matter related to your trademark application
named “<b>XXXXXX</b>”. Upon reviewing your application, it
has come to our attention that while you initiated the
trademark application process, you did not proceed with the
government classifications, resulting in an incomplete
filing. Unfortunately, due to this incomplete filing, the
United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has
received another application for the same trademark and
name.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"

style="font-size:11.0pt;mso-ligatures:standardcontextual"> The
USPTO has notified us that there is a potential conflict
between your application and the new application. To resolve
this matter, we need your immediate clarification on your
intent to proceed with the registration of the trademark
under the same name and mark. If you still intend to proceed
with the trademark registration, we require your
confirmation within the next 24 hours. Failure to confirm
your intention to register will result in the USPTO
transferring the rights to the trademark name and mark to
the new applicant. Please understand that time is of the
essence, and we strongly recommend that you respond promptly
to this email. If you have any questions or need further
assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us immediately
at 442-305-4348.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
