That copyright registration service I paid $300 to turned out to be a scam

I hired this company called QuickFilePro to handle my copyright registration for a bunch of freelance photos I took for a hotel chain. They charged me $300 upfront and promised fast processing, but 6 months later I found out they never submitted a single form to the Copyright Office. I had to pay another $200 to do it myself through the official site, and I still lost out on a lawsuit I could have filed against a client who used my images without paying. Has anyone else gotten burned by one of these middleman services?

Read somewhere that these middleman services are basically just taking your money and ghosting you.

Five different people told me the same story last month. It's all hype until you need a refund and suddenly nobody answers emails. Just stick with verified sellers on marketplace platforms.

Some of those services have actually come through for people I know though.
