  I received an email today claiming my website was infringing on the sender’s trademark rights. Is this a scam email? It claims to have been sent through our contact form. There were no links that included evidence of trademark infringement not any other evidence included, just claims. How should I proceed?

  WP.com: Unknown
  Jetpack: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  I did not get the IP address, but the sender used the name Latesha Glover.

  Please report the website to WP. There seems to be a rash of trademark scams going around trying to harvest people’s WP credentials.
