Solicitation to fill out 2026 - Annual Report Instruction Form for our Virginia corporation and return with $100 payment

- Staunton, VA, USA • Mar 04, 2026

Received mail from this organization C.P.S., "requiring" us to complete an annual report and send $100 to the PO Box address given. Our own research proves this to be a scam.

- Purcellville, VA, USA • Mar 03, 2026

Form appearing to be the normal 2026 Annual Form for corporations in Virginia, containing the correct business name and entity number registered in Virginia and other correct information about our business (entity start date) and requesting the usual $100 reporting fee. "C.P.S." was never identified, and that's what made me suspicious.

Received a single form in the mail with a return envelope requesting $149 with no explanation. There is no other contact information on the form or provided (No Email, No Phone Number, No Person to Contact). I've attached a copy of the form.

- Marshall, VA, USA • Feb 11, 2026

Sent mail pretending to be the 2026 Annual Report Instruction Form . Some parts filled in already, the rest would need to be manual. The back page has a spanish version. On the front page, at the bottom, disclosure says that the state of virginia annual report can be filed directly with the state for free.

- Barnhart, MO, USA • Feb 02, 2026

Postal delivery of fake fees "required" of newly registered small business. P.o.box in D.C. but street address claiming corporate office is at 1750 J&C Blvd #7, Naples FL .

False claims of fees, fraud of postal service, multiple states (FL, D.C. , MO).

- Henrico, VA, USA • Jan 30, 2026

I received a letter in the mail stating that I need to file an annual report for my business or I would be penalized a late fee and may be dissolved or revoked. This isn’t even a government agency .

- Spring Hill, TN, USA • Jan 30, 2026

Looks like government document. Asks to send money to business to ‘confirm the registration of your business’. States a penalty threat of punishment for nonpayment, etc. It’s a SCAM!! Do NOT send money to this company.

- Braman, OK, USA • Jan 28, 2026

A mailed letter to our business that looks similar to an IRS form

- Philadelphia, PA, USA • Jan 24, 2026

I am a CPA, I am familiar with these deceptive mailings where private companies attempt to appear affiliated with government agencies to scare business owners into paying for services they do not need. The attached letter was provided to my client. I am very concerned because they kept the letter thinking they were delinquent in paying a tax. I always check these letters to make sure they explicitly state they are not affiliated with a government agency. While this letter DOES state this fact, I think it is not clearly enough stated, and is therefore being deceptive.

- Chesapeake, VA, USA • Jan 23, 2026

pOSTAL MAIL WAS SENT STATING NO9N-PROFIT ORGANIZATION NEEDS TO SEND IN MONEY FOR ANNUAL FEES OR WILL LICENSE WILL BE REVOKED

- Beltsville, MD, USA • Jan 23, 2026

I received a letter in the mail letting me know I can purchase a certificate for my business, and that this certificate may be required to obtain loans or complete other financial activities related to my business. In fine print embedded in the letter, it said “this is not a government organization” or something to that effect. The letter included a QR code that I could use to pay the bill. The bill was around $97. After I looked it up on the ScamPulse.com website and saw it was a scam, I shredded the letter.

- Hopewell, VA, USA • Jan 23, 2026

Mailed a form that looks like the SEC annual report. Looks offical, but in small print you can see it's not through the state government.

- Alexandria, VA, USA • Jan 17, 2026
