Question
I have sent money and all product info. I have a great idea
did I get ripped off? I have not sent the patent fee yet
$2-$12,000 estimate. What should I do?

Answer
Try to get your money back. Talk to  your state attorney general office. Find a legitimate practitioner. Report them to the USPTO.

You just have to figure the money you sent was "tuition" for a learning expense.
