Patent & Trademark Institute Of America Was told my idea was worth MILLIONS!!! Roslyn Heights New York

I emailed Inventors Helpline because I thought I had a fantastic idea (and still do). They sent me some paperwork to give them a brief description of my invention. I received a call from Darrell Johnson a week or so later telling me that him and his marketing, development, lawyers team (of about 15 people) all unanimously feel that my idea is worth millions of dollars that there is nothing out there like it and I will be rich rich rich within 6 months. I am into this about $7800.00 and I have nothing. I received all this fancy looking sketches and disclousure agreements and 'books" about my invention. I received letters from a law firm (Galasso & Associates, LP) about the patent-pending (that I paid $7,000.00 for), I received tons of documents from the Patent & Trademark Institute, and documents from a company called United Licensing Corporation (which still has a viable website) that claimed they would make sure my invention was promoted in all the trade shows and I would have this great website and so forth which nothing ever came of any of it. If I tried calling any of them, they would never answer, If I left a voicemail they would never call back or say they were not with that department any longer All 3 of the companies I have talked about are complete frauds!!!I am out a lot of money and all of this stress probably took 10 years off my life!!!! I guess nowadays this is what you get for $10,000.00 and a couple years!!!!!
