Businesses urged to watch for office scam
EAGLE COUNTY — Local businesses may have recently received an official-looking document from Colorado Corporate Compliance, 303 S. Broadway, Ste. 200, PMB 376, Denver, CO 80209 that has a header “Annual Minutes Disclosure Statement.” The document is a scam.
The solicitation leads you to believe that you need to pay a $150 disclosure and processing fee ($175 if after the remit date) to have Colorado Corporate Compliance record your annual minutes for shareholders and directors.
State law requires that corporations file an annual report with the Colorado Secretary of State’s office (http://www.sos.state.co.us/) and maintain records of having an annual meeting. However, there is no requirement to pay this company to maintain copies of board minutes.
Please see the Colorado Secretary of State’s Alerts Regarding Potentially Deceptive Solicitations at http://www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/business/alert_notices.htm.
Recipients of this letter have been asked to send a copy of the letter to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service to report mail fraud. As of last week, the US Postal Service has shut down the box that Colorado Corporate Compliance was using. But postal investigators are still collecting letters for further investigation.
If you have a letter, sent it to:
US Postal Inspection Service
1745 Stout St. #900
Denver, CO 80299-3034
