I received a misleading solicitation designed to look like an official California government form. The document is titled "California Corporations Annual Order Form Declaration of Directors and Officers" from a company called "501-CORP." It appears official with government-style formatting, barcodes, and legal references, but is actually a solicitation from a private company called "Corporate Processing Service." It's heavily stylized to exactly resemble tax forms, which I personally find extremely egregious.
The form requests $243.00 by February 15, 2025 and contains threatening language about penalties, suspension, and loss of business rights if not filed on time. While there are small-print disclaimers stating "THIS IS NOT A BILL" and "THIS PRODUCT OR SERVICE HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR ENDORSED BY ANY GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY," these are easy to miss among the official-looking elements.
The solicitation targets businesses by obtaining their information from public records, then charging inflated fees for services that could be completed directly with the Secretary of State for much less. The form creates false urgency and misrepresents the consequences of not responding. This deceptive practice could cause businesses to pay unnecessary fees and potentially miss actual required government filings while believing they've fulfilled their obligations through this third-party service.

A robot voice called, saying they had on their records I qualify for Medicare parts A&B. I am in my 20s, so no. I said I was interested though, and the moment I said that a man picked up the phone with a foreign accent and started asking me questions. How old are you? Do you have insurance already? That sort of thing.

Went to work for individual Daran Edwards. Worked from 9 am until 5pm. Was praised for my exceptionally good work. When it came time to pay he left and later said the homeowner stated that I wasn't on the job. Homeowner denied this. I asked for pay up until time he left and he refused. Scammed me and one other employee.

Scammer's website XFinity App CountryUnited States Victim LocationIN 46307, USA Total money lost$600 Type of a scamOther
I spoke to a customer service agent about adjusting my pricing plan for my home internet and mobile phone. He said there is a plan that is less that what I was paying and includes a free iPad plus mobile phone and home internet service for around $85/month. I clarified the pricing and what was included and the term of the contract and the free iPad with him several times because I did not believe him. I signed up for it and received the new iPad. My first bill came and it was $220 per month. I reached back out to XFinity multiple times and was told I could not return the iPad because their device return window is 14 days. I was told the device was free repeatedly and that my bill would only be $85/month. I was told by several people that this is a scam they are doing. They hand out so called free devices and when people find out that they are not free and try to return them they say their return window is 14 days.

Scammer's website Lowe's Kobalt Tool give away Scammer's address5915 Raleigh St. Orlando Florida, Orlando, FL 32835, USA CountryUnited States Victim LocationAL 35473, USA Total money lost$74.28 Type of a scamOther
Email stated I won a Kobalt tool set from Lowe's. In the text, they asked for shipping only. I sent via Visa card the shipping amount. The next day, I had 74.28 charged to my account. When I called the number I found on their web site, I was told this amount was for a company membership. I was not happy and told the person so. The person indicated no refund could be given. I informed the person how unhappy I was and that I was going to report them to the BBB. The person put me on hold, when the person came back on the phone to say I would be getting complete refund in 3 to 5 days. So disappointing folks use companies like Lowe's for this type of scam. Lesson learned. I hope the refund to my card comes, however, I do not believe it will.
