I Suggest that you STOP selling,,and wait for the review to be over,, this way if you fail the review,,you will have less money tied up,,

slapped said NOTHING like that.

Start training yourself to 'listen' & not assume.

I think he is very excited that he has made so many sales.......

yes you are right, i am..... this business has so much money in it that it makes the blood in my veins boil.

I got this message yesterday guys, i contacted amazon a couple of times no one could really help me but they all said it seems strange that they have contacted you through a sellers account when usually something like this you would have gotten a message from amazon first....

Please be advised this firm represents the interests of Keep a Breast Foundation, Inc. as they relate to claims against ****** and its owners for claims of fraud, trademark infringement, unfair business practices, and copyright infringement. Any further communication regarding this matter should be directed to our offices.
Keep a Breast Foundation, Inc. is the owner of the KEEP A BREAST brand and numerous trademarks and trade dress. Our client is the owner of registered trademarks for (heart logo) ® and i (heart logo) boobies! ®. They are also the authors and owners of all copyright interests in the I LOVE BOOBIES related designs.
Before proceeding with a federal lawsuit against you and your company, we are writing to you directly as a courtesy to explore whether a resolution is possible. We have discovered that unauthorized products infringing Keep a Breast’s trademark and copyright interests are presently being sold at your online store on Amazon.com.
As a result, Keep a Breast Foundation, Inc. is currently sustaining damages, and will continue to do so until your infringing activities terminate. We are confident that should we be forced to initiate judicial intervention, we will secure a substantial judgment against you and/or your company for injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorney’s fees, and costs.
Given the serious nature of these allegations, we demand that you:
• Immediately (today) cease and desist from advertising, selling or making available any infringing product in any of your online stores;
• Immediately provide us with the name and contact information of the individual person from whom you received the infringing products;
• Immediately provide us with all receipts and documentation of your purchase of the infringing product from your supplier;
• Immediately surrender all infringing merchandise you currently have in inventory;
• Immediately provide a report indicating your gross sales figures of the infringing items.

We are experienced in pursuing online retailers, including those who market through Amazon. We have been successful in obtaining online retailers’ identities, locations, and attaching bank accounts. Recently, Amazon.com has taken steps to permanently terminate Seller's rights on its platform resulting from Keep A Breast infringement notices. We mean business, and our sights are set on making you our next example. We trust you understand the situation and can appreciate our client’s intention to vigilantly protect its rights. In this endeavor, we expect immediate confirmation of your compliance, evidenced in writing, by no later than Thursday, June 14, 2012, or we will advise our client to immediately pursue judicial intervention for substantial damages and a court order for removal of all I LOVE BOOBIES branded merchandise from your retail online store. I will be checking the website tomorrow the 14th, to see if you have removed all of your infringing offerings.
Of course, nothing contained in this letter is intended to be, nor shall be deemed, an admission by our client of any fact or a waiver by it of any right, all of which it expressly reserves.
We look forward to your timely response.

What should i do? the amazon support (i talked to few) told me it was possibly spam, but i took off the listing and haven't replied to the message...... how do i know it isnt just someone trying to find out where i got the items from how much money i have made off it and how much i got them for?

Amazon support really sucks. :boink:

Not that anyone cares but i got in contact with the lawyer and he said,dont sweat it your not in trouble for the amount of bracelets you have, its not worth my time i take down people that have over 20k bracelets.

The Lawyer told you that?

Speaking of surprises, slapped, anyone think that legal letter isn't totally professional?

something is Wrong thats for SURE

Well he did say he wants me to take a pair of scissors and cut all the amount i have and throw in garbage..... and if i continue doing it they will have to take action. But in the end seemed like a real cool guy.

I wouldn't sweat it. Ignore the letter.

Letters dont count for sh*t unless sent via registered means.

Did you google the attorney name? The law group? You do have to do some research.

That being said...final onus on you

All the info is there my friend i didn't even write back to the message i reseched his name and found his number called him and his secretary picked up left him a message and got a call back from him.... it was him that had sent the message but he also told me he sends messages like that all the time

Type this in google

and please tell me if i contacted the right person it should be the first link

Well, if your account is under Review, and the Lawyers letter that you recieved is indeed legit, I can only assume that that lawyer also sent one to Amazon in reguards to your selling account,,,that is gonna make passing the account Review a little difficult,,,better take a look at Amazon Ghost,,,

After doing your research AllAboutStealth, you have to make a decision. Personally, it's too much to go scrambling in a lost cause. I will not be googling that name or whatever because it does me no good profitwise or timewise :( sorry...

I like slapped's idea though...

Jesus Christ, this is such a downer I don't think I'll be able to get wood for like a month. Good advise though and correct, you are NEVER safe on Amazon. Kinda like at many jobs these days though. But we all know that if you play your sh*t right, you can make way more money than everyone else doing 9-5. That's why we put up with Amazon's sh*t. Still, I wholehearted believe that this job may possibly one day become extinct. If you make a lot of money, don't blow it.. saaave it. A rainy day will come in this line of work. Just believe that suspensions come with the territory and don't have any cray expectations. Just be prepared as best you can.
