Fake invoices of € 2.299,-

EUOIP sends invoices of €2,299 for European trademark registration. They forget to mention that they don’t do anything at all: they put your money in their pocket and disappear with no trace.

Double-check

Some companies have told us they paid the invoice from this organisation by mistake. We’re concerned that they will never see that money again. So stay alert and also inform your financial department, and if in doubt, call or email Chiever! With this kind of official-looking document, it’s understandable that a payment order is quickly made.
