[E-trademarks] Does this sound like a trademark expert to you? He claims to be

Not merely malpractice, but certainly an ethical violation as well, and maybe a crime.  But I doubt it’s a real attorney (or if the person is real, that they know their name is being used).  And this scam seems to have replaced the Chinese domain name scam that followed these same lines.  At least with that scam, they weren’t making representations about your right to use your own name except for the domain in question.

If this was a real attorney, this would so clearly be malpractice. Unreal.

Subject: Business Name Dispute: Immediate Action Required

Dear Daryllynn,
I’m contacting you on behalf of the Legal Department at The Mark Beacon, a private firm specializing in trademark and copyright services. We've received a request from an applicant in Virginia seeking to register “Newland Real Estate Group ” as a trademark—identical to the name you currently use for similar services. Our records show no active federal trademark registration for this name with the USPTO. Under U.S. law, names that aren’t federally trademarked are generally considered available for registration by others, regardless of prior use.
If no action is taken to secure your rights, the applicant may move forward with registering the name and potentially gain exclusive federal rights to it. This could create complications for your continued use of the name. I’d be happy to discuss your options and help you take the appropriate steps to protect your business identity—feel free to give me a call or respond to my email so we can go over everything together.

Best regards,
