claimed to have these businesses located at my home address and sent a safety manual order form stating it was required by OSHA and that there would be civil penalties of up to 70k. Attached one example but I've gotten at least 5 of these, each listing a different company.

It was an attempt to get $149 for the service of "Annual Filing Report Services", with punishment for non-compliance of potentially $500 per day &/or jail time.

- Thomaston, CT, USA • Jun 14, 2026

Asking for money to file corporate filings

- Damascus, VA, USA • May 27, 2026

Postal mail picked up today. Due today (5/27/2026). No date on stamp. I only retrieve mail for the writers group once a week. Had just paid the state commission fee and thought this looked odd so I googled it and found it was a scam. They recommended reporting it to you.

- Roanoke, VA, USA • May 26, 2026

I received a form in the mail for an "2026 - Annual Report Instruction Form" instructing me to send a check for $100 to a PO Box in Washington, DC for my Virginia-based non-profit group. It states in the payment information "Complete payment to file your annual report." There is an annual report that needs to be filed for this group, but it is done through the Virginia State Corporation Commission. The "please respond by" date is also not the same date as the due date listed within the VA SCC website.

- Gainesville, FL, USA • Mar 16, 2026

I received a envelope that was made to look official. I knew it was bogus by the address and the fact that my name was mispelled. I also looked up the address and found other cases of the same address being used that was noted to be a scam. I threw it away without opening.

- Tiverton, RI, USA • Mar 08, 2026

Received mail stating new business was required to register mandatory beneficial ownership reporting persuant to the United States corporate transparency act

- Oakland, MD, USA • Feb 16, 2026

I am reporting my 2 postal mail scams today, and this is the 2nd one for what is likely the same scammer as the 1st. I have scanned and attached the letter the scammer sent.

Somebody is making a lot of money off this scam, so it would be desirable if ScamPulse.com could pass along this and any others for this address to the police as I suspect that this address is also a UPS Store with a postal box which, after an enquiry by the Washington D.C. police, can be identified.

- Spokane, WA, USA • Nov 29, 2025

The scam letter purported to be a Washington State entity collecting a $135 fee to stay “compliant with state law” by paying the company Next Step Filings for the “2026 Annual Corporate for Commercial Filing Services for Washington Companies.” The mailing zip code was 22204, but listed the address for receiving any reply letters as 300 Lenora Street #1233,

Seattle, WA 98121.
