I have never had more spam generated from anything than filing for a trademark.
Literally hundreds of diffrent people from everywhere but the correct domain asking for money. I almost fell for one and even had a conversation.
The problem is absolutely everything about the trademark is public so its easy to form well crafted legitimate looking inquires about it.
Starting to realize that now. Glad I didn't submit my phone number. And yes, emails are coming in fast.
