Here’s another bogus company to add to the list of those in California:

Compliance Services
P.O. Box 1265
Studio City, CA 91614-0265

They call their mock form a “Annual Minutes Requirement Statement / Directors and Shareholders”. They ask you to complete the form and send it with a check for $125, payable to COMPLIANCE SERVICES. Sure, the form does state in fine print “you can engage an attorney to prepare them, prepare them yourself, use some other service company, or use our services.” And they say they’re not a government agency and so on. But at first glance the form looks like a government form, very official, says time-sensitive, etc.

Your attorney(s) should be handling all “annual minutes”. Note small print on bottom of form says participation is voluntary.

It is NOT legitimate and they are giving SEVERAl return addresses. If you call the number on the form.. you will not get anyone to answer! This is a huge scam and resembles the Supreme Court Annual Fee form .

Received a letter today from this bogus company in Albany, New York asking for $120.00. At the bottom in fine print, it says PARTICIPATION IN THE SERVICES OFFERED BY CRCO IS VOLUNTARY AND ELECTIVE.
Surely there’s some one who can this scam from going on and on unless its LEGITIMATE??

The letter is about “New York Annual Minutes Requirement, form NY-2010″

Before I wrote the check I did a goole search(because in our 20 years business, never pay such a fee, suspecious!),
the very first result is this page! so I know it’s a Scam, then I took a second look at the letter, in the lower left hand side, it says:
“this service…..not been approved or endorsed by….GOVENGENCY…..this is not a bill”, BUT, the letter sure look like a bill!
$120.00, almost gone~

And another in addition to above scams – this one requesting $195:

Annual Filing Division
1215 K Street, 17th Floor
Sacramento CA 95814

All of these “businesses” are rated “F” with the BBB. This is the second one we received within the past 2 months. Last one came from Corporate Business Division.

Yet another scammer making the rounds:

Corporate Business Bureau
Corporate Business Division
8939 S. Sepulveda Blvd. #110-727
Los Angeles, CA 90045

This outfit is asking for a $150 fee! Geez, you begin to wonder how many of these
scammers exist. I’m beginning to lose track of how many solicitations I’ve received
so far…

@Liz Thanks Liz for the bit of detective work! These slime balls have to come and pick up their mail right? Maybe if we know where the PO Box is, the police can nab them in the act of stealing our money!

To P (post #175) — Was the mailing you received from Corporate Compliance Filings – 9175 Kiefer Blvd. #336 Sacramento, CA with a $175 fee? If so, I got the same one (amongst like 6-7 others, as of now!) Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if that “suite” address isn’t really a suite, but rather a UPS Store with on-site personal mailboxes. A lot of shady corporations like to rent out these PMBs and disguise themselves…makes them look like they have a real office suite. As a matter of fact, I just Googled that address right now, and sure enough, it’s a UPS Store.
