Same for me in around 2004 paid around $800 for them to check for other similar ideas and provide me with a certificate of authenticity to say that mine was unique. They then asked me for around $5000 to start marketing and build a prototype of my idea! I could not afford this so ended up not following this through reluctantly! About a year later the uk government advised in local papers stating word for word my idea. Seemed such a coincidence!?
I have still have my original portfolio they sent me and all my original dated handwritten documents... Can I sue them based on this evidence?
If so le me know

This is exactly what happened to me around 2004. Same scenario. They asked for $800 to get my idea rolling. All I received was a portfolio with a drawing and Authenticity Certificate. Absolutely no word since. Sueing should definitely be viable if everyone comes together.
