Copyright companies have been around for a while, but now scammers have been getting more prevalent of scamming through the disguise of such companies.Scams like these are becoming more and more common, and if you don’t do your research, that could be you.
There are many copyright companies that will send you a copyright notice, notifying you of the existence of your copyrighted work. Once they have your information, they will ask you to pay them a fee to “claim” your copyright. However, they will do nothing to actually protect your copyright.
To avoid being scammed, you have to be aware of the warning signs and do your research. If you see an advertisement that seems too good to be true, it probably is.
If you are contacted by someone with a copyright scam, tell them that you will not be buying the content and hang up.
