Here’s a little tip for Florida Business owners, but maybe restricted to S-Corp owners. If you get a document in the mail called: “Annual Minutes Requirement Statement Directors and Shareholders”, do not pay it, this is a scam. The Florida Department of State has now posted a warning about this on its front-page as well.
While this document might look very authentic, in the small print it states:
This product has not been approved or endorsed by any government agency and this offer is not being made by an agency of the government.
Needless to say, you should never send shareholder information to any non-government organization. And your actual annual meeting information should only be addressed to a government organization or posted at SunBiz.org.
The letter that I originally received had the following return address:
COMPLIANCE SERVICES
400 Capital Cir SE, Ste 18321
Tallahassee, FL 32301
Edit:
Thanks to all of the people who have posted a comment, here’s a list of all the street address instances used by this scammer so far, there were more instances reported below in the comment section without addresses. Also, if you happen to have more information or an address that’s not listed, please post it below, it will most certainly help many people.
