Fake Business Compliance Letter Scam Reports & Reviews – Page 9 (432)

- Edmond, OK, USA

They send you a letter that looks like it's from a government agency requesting a filing fee for "business reporting". It looks very real and could defiantly scare some people thinking they forgot to file a form. They threaten $500 dollars a day if you do not respond by a certain time and the date I received this letter was 3 days after they said to respond. They are 100% trying to get more money out of people if they read it carefully.
