Epidemic of California Statement of Information Filing Scams

by admin on September 1, 2009

There is a virtual epidemic of companies attempting to fleece California corporations and LLCs into paying them big money to fill out and file a one page annual registration form. The latest entrant into this increasingly crowded field is "Business Filing Division" which claims to be located at 980 Ninth St., 16th Floor, Sacramento, CA 95814, telephone 916-903-5355.  They request that LLC owners pay them $239 to file their statement of information for them.  Like all the rest, they make their form look like an official government form, and they threaten all manner of terrible results if you don’t get the filing done.  Nowhere do they mention that the Secretary of State will send out a form to each California LLC and corporation which they can file on their own for a filing fee of $20.  Here’s a picture of this latest entrant into this seedy field:
