It looks so authentic, it nearly got me, and we've been in business five years, during which I've seen plenty of attempts. The letter we received looks eerily similar to the legitimate annual information form the state sends to corporations. This solicitation came from some entity called "Business Filings Division," and asks for $235.00. Wow. The real annual fee is $25, payable to the state. We received a similar scam in California.

I find it unfortunate that it's far easier to research this scammer by Googling & looking for fellow recipients, than it is to find a knowledgeable & responsive Governmental Agency we could turn to. I do plan to notify my County Attorney General, as the Scammer may hold a Putnam County address in Carmel, NY.. How far that will go.... we can only hope!

Doesn't anyone read the fine print anymore? Seriously...so many of you were about to send these people money? Just like that? Because they told you to? Wow. Just wow. Glad so many of you were astute enough to look it up anyway. It's breathtaking just how gullible so many people seem to be. P.T. Barnum's moldering corpse must have a smile a mile wide right now.

I am sure now that this is a scam. What if another letter like this asking for over due. Someone mentioned that those scammers must have checked that we didn't file the Minutes Disclosure to the States, how can we fill our hole so that they have no chance to scam us! Please let me know if we should file something and we didn't. I check their 1-800 number and find your site. Thanks very much! They look like very Official but I found nothing that is LA CITY. My business is in El Monte and I was wondering why LA ask me for the money. I feel so good for saving $150, but still worrying what would come next. Just want to make sure this is a scam. Well, since all of you saying so. I checked all over the form and I didn’t find any word “solicitation”. I am sure now that this is a scam. What if another letter like this asking for over due.
