US Patent Office Scammers

From the USPTO website:
An entity or person issuing a document, for example, a "certificate," allegedly by the Chief Financial Officer of the United States Patent and Trademark Office for payment of USPTO fees and lawyer fees is NOT affiliated with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office does NOT issue such "certificates." If you have any questions, please call the Office of Independent Inventor Programs at (703) 306-5568.
An entity doing business as the 'United States Trademark Protection Agency'is NOT affiliated with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
