Apr 10, 2007 -- Corporation registration scam!

If you’re a business owner, you know people are always trying to get your money. Whether it’s a toner phoner scam or Internet servicing company, these criminals make business owners think they need the service or else. There is usually an urgency to their scam and many of the documents look legitimate. The latest one involves a group claiming you have to respond to them within 10 days to keep your corporation registration current. The envelope appears to be from a government entity, as does the return envelope. If you look closer at the fine print on the form, it says it is not a government document. Now, if you have an S-corporation or a C-corporation, you may need to pay annual filings and fees. But the costs are small – about $30. And the filings can be done at the state’s official Web sites. You’ll also usually get a reminder in the mail about these. So, don’t respond to any random forms you may get. Check it out with the correct government office before you do anything.
