Last week NPMA met with the Federal Trade Commission to discuss the fraudulent activities of the illegal solicitation of the National Pest Maintenance Professional Association (“NPMPA”, formerly the “National Pest Management Professional Association”). We highlighted NPMPA’s infringement on NPMA’s registered trademark, and that their activities also constitutes false and misleading advertising, consumer fraud, trade disparagement, and other improper conduct.
NPMA will provide additional updates an information when they are available, in the meantime, please continue to forward all solicitations by this group to abray@pestworld.org. Additionally, if you or another company you know of has additional information or has paid any money to this fraudulent entity, please provide this information to abray@pestworld.org.
