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.

- Bear, DE, USA • Nov 22, 2025

I received a one page letter asking to complete the annual minutes statement and to send a check in for $149.50 for the corporate annual minutes fee.

- Austin, TX, USA • Nov 22, 2025

After I registered a new LLC in the State of Texas, the mentioned company sent a letter to me posing as an official and required part of my company formation, with terminology in the document and on the website (which they insisted you visit via QR code) that represented a submission through their online portal as "NEEDED" and "REQUIRED".

I found out that this is a private company with no official role and representing an optional commercial service that they charge over $400 for as required.

They do have very small fine print that says it's an optional service, but have much larger print saying it is a NEEDED and REQUIRED service, noting deadlines and very large penalties if one does not proceed with their service.

Total scam and this company should be fined and put out of business.

It's companies like this that are eroding the US business landscape.

Document noted several federal statutes regarding workplace safety and the severity of violating OSHA regulations and requested $295.00 be mailed to "C.P.S."
