- 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.

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.

- 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."

They send business emails that look Government legit.they warn you that not doing it could cause for you business to be closed. They want $135 to do something that’s as simple as logging into your account to pay your fee go the year. And they ask for all your information to do it. If nothing else though, ALWAYS READ THE FINE PRINT!!!

- Port Saint Lucie, FL, USA • Oct 04, 2025

On October 4, 2025 we received a plain envelope in the u.S postal mail with a clear window and no return address. The inner return envelope was pre addressed to: annual records service 1030 15th street Northwest number 366 Washington DC2005 - 1503. Enclosed in the envelope was form 4434 a mandatory beneficial ownership reporting form with a respond by date of October 14, 2025. The supposed fee trying to be collected is one hundred nineteen dollars and the reporting entity was a privately owned business or current occupant. There were several red flags when we opened and reviewed this piece of mail.\n As they were trying to make us believe that they were going to file on our behalf and included scary sounding information about penalties, fines and imprisonment.

We have already taken care of this for our business as we were supposed to.And that was another red flag , because this has already been done.
