It has come to our attention that there are others claiming to be “Team America” with various online addresses and posting on a number of social media applications. For example on the Telegram platform, a recent subscriber who first posted in May of this year, promotes the channel as “Team America” showing 338 subscribers. This is NOT our team. That Telegram version is actually “TEAM AMERICA, LLC” registered in Florida on 3/17/2021 and shows being “owned” by Mark Benson who is not a member of Team America actual (https://jeffreyprather.com/join-team-america/ “TA”). Another in California, is being operated out of Clovis, California by Ted Laurent who is a TA member but is misleadingly operating a website or websites and promoting events on his own as if they were sanctioned by us which they have not been.

Although both of these two examples appear to be on the same side we are, we are not involved with nor have we authorized them to operate as representatives of our members or leadership.

There are also no less than three active trade/service marks registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office claiming ownership of “TEAM AMERICA;” each owner in a different State and includes corporations and LLCs… we do not know how many other fictitious names, business or other entities’ names may be registered throughout the Country.

We are a decentralized group of individuals, not a company nor any form of an organization in any State and urge everyone to be wary and use discernment when or if associating with any of groups that may appear to be operating under any version of the TA banner.
