Beware! Annual Minutes Filing Scams!

Date September 2, 2008

If your company is incorporated or registered to conduct business as a foreign corporation or LLC in Texas, California or Nevada, you may have been targeted by these filing scams.   The scam consists of a solicitation letter warning you that your annual minutes have not been filed with the “corporate compliance” office and offer to take care of this for you, for a fee of $99 or $125.

This is not a requirement from the State office and these letters are NOT official.  By responding to these letters and/or sending payments in response to them, you receive nothing in return and in some cases your registered agent information may be changed or removed from the state’s records.

At CorpCo www.corpco.com  we encourage all of our clients to contact us when they receive any unusual or unexpected documents that require a filing fee.   We can quickly and easily confirm whether or not the letter/request is legitimate.  Please contact our office for more information or any questions regarding this topic!   www.corpco.com
