Their mailer looks official, on purpose, and offers to do a filing for $110 which only cost $10. Their service fee is $100!!

The fact that they are not an official agency is buried in their document. Also the fact that the actual fee is $10, is not disclosed.

They have a ScamPulse.com F rating. Why are they still in business?

I received a letter in the mail stating that my LLC owes this company W.C.S , (Address 18601 Green Valley Ranch Blvd, Ste 108-361, Denver Co, 80249- phone 1-877-329-4662 ) $110 for my LLC renewal. I have had my LLC for many years and have never seen anything like this before and pay my annual fee to the state.

DO NOT SEND THIS COMPANY MONEY- IT IS A SCAM. I am not sure how they got the name of my LLC and the address.

Since my wife has relocated her business to Colorado last year, we have twice been mailed these documents from W.C.S. I see that there are many complaints about this companies practice on yelp, https://www.yelp.com/biz/cps-filing-services-salem.

Like many others report on Yelp, we were very nearly deceived by this official looking correspondence that seems to be claiming that we need to make a payment or risk fines and fees from the state of Colorado.

I am a registered LLC in the state of Colorado. Just before my annual periodic report was due I changed my address and that update filing took care of the periodic report for the year.

A few month later I received a letter in the mail with no return address on it, and inside was a partially filled out periodic report that appears to be formatted in such a way as to fake the business owner into thinking they have not filed their periodic report. Such information including the Entity Start Date, Customer ID Number, Notice Date, ID Number, and Entity Business Address are included at the top followed by a Respond By Date of 1 month after the Notice Date.

The form then goes on to list legal statutes and also explains the following: "Colorado laws require every reporting entity in the state to timely file a periodic report every year. If [[Business Name]] does not file a report more than 60 days past its due date, you may be at risk for penalties and fines."

If you read real close you will see W.C.S.'s disclaimer:

"If the business entity is still in use, W.C.S., a private entity, will assist for a fee in the filing of your periodic report"

"W.C.S. IS NOT A GOVERNMENT AGENCY AND DOES NOT HAVE A CONTRACT WITH ANY GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY TO PROVIDE THIS SERVICE."

"To utilize this service, follow the steps below. W.C.S will not disclose any information about your business to any third-party, including competitors, unless required by law. Mail the completed form with $110.00 in the enclosed envelope. Please respond today!"

As per any other scam company trying to trick a consumer into their service with formatting and play on words that mimic legitimate documents this company makes a point to only en-bolden the words they want to stick out. For example W.C.S made the following words in the document Bold: "Please Respond By:","Colorado Law","CO REV. STAT. 7-90-301:","CO REV. STAT. 7-90-501(1):","$110.00","Please respond today!"

So here is the thing - It cost $10 to file a periodic report on time with the Secretary of State website, and $50 or $60 if late. I filed on time and I verified this on Colorado's S.O.S website after receiving this "2020 - Periodic Report Instruction Form" from W.C.S. The fact that they are sending out forms in mid 2021 that are actually for 2020 makes this a complete scam. This company can clearly see if the business is in good standing, but instead of only sending this form out to delinquent accounts they are preying on the business owners whom are A) To Busy to remember if they filed or B) Don't pay attention to the words enough to discern the fact that the form is not actually stating anything is wrong.

If they sent this for before a periodic report is due, or to business that are delinquent then maybe they wouldn't be a scam - but based on the predatory structure and format of the form and words, in combination with the timing that these forms are mailed out makes this an absolute scam and not just an question of ethics!

This Company states that: "All orders will be fulfilled from our corporate office in Lansing, MI"

Hopefully the ScamPulse.com or someone with more times on their hands will get to the bottom of who this company is and stop them as they are likely to be a big company doing this in every state.

W.C.S. (Worker Compliance Services) sent my business a "2020- Periodic Report Instruction Form" that is structured to appear as if it's an official government service. They throw in a "...you may be at risk for penalties and fines" threat at the beginning and later slip in some fine print that tells you that you don't actually need them to file this report for you because you can do it on your own through the Secretary of State of Colorado website for $10 each year (it takes about 5 minutes online). They charge you $100 for this "service". If you are not paying attention, you may just pay them for their useless service.

This company sends a notice that appears to be an official government document entitled 2020 - Periodic Report Instruction Form. It appears to target Colorado LLCs and "expects" you to send them $110 to ensure you complete your annual registration of your LLC. I think I received something similar in 2019, so it is disappointing this company continues to scam small business. I have done this long enough that I know I can easily perform my annual registration with the state of Colorado online for $10.

WCS Sent an fairly official looking invoice stating I needed to seed $110 for a periodic review of my Colorado LLC. Colorado only charges $10 for the periodic review, unless it is delinquent. The form has all the right company numbers and does sound official. The due date is 3 months before my periodic report is due. The form does state that WGC is not a government agency, which was the second thing that tipped me off. I've never paid my periodic dues outside of the Colorado government site, and never to a non-government address. Official looking, but definitely a scam.

This is a "company" that sends very official looking forms to business owners trying to get them to pay for a worthless, unnecessary service. They use language like "Please respond today!" , and "Please respond by (date)" in bold font. They quote Colorado Law giving statutes regarding your requirements to file your annual periodic report. They use your business information, your file date and the paper they send you states it is a "2020 - Periodic Report Instruction form" with a notice date and a deadline to respond in two different places.

They are careful to protect themselves by stating they are a service and they put one very small sentence at the bottom stating that you can do this on your own. However, this is a scam. They attempt to get you to pay them $100 by check (which is suspect as well).

I attempted to call them to request they remove me from their mailing list and the call goes immediately to a recorded message.

This is a shameful attempt to prey on people and it should be recognized for what it is.... a money-making scam.

W.C.S. targeted my business with a very official looking statement requesting payment for a State of Colorado periodic report. In bold type, the invoice requested $110.00 to file the report. In fine print at the bottom, it noted that the report could be filed directly with the state for $10. To me, this is a blatant unethical attempt to scam unsuspecting businesses out of $100.

This company (WCS) has sent my LLC a "2020 Periodic Report" form and invoice for $110 under threat of penalties and fees. The company seems to have gotten my name, the name of my business, my address, and initiation date of my LLC through office of the Colorado Secretary of State. Nowhere on the form does it state who or what "WCS" is, though a quick Google search brought up the ScamPulse.com site first (defining WCS as Workplace Compliance Services) and a Reddit page listing the company as a scam second. I became suspicious as I don't recall previously having to report to an agency outside the Colorado Secretary of State and certainly not for $110 (my regular annual re-registration fee to the CO SOS is $10.)

I received an official-looking letter labeled a “2020 Periodic Report Instruction Form” asking for $110 to file an annual periodic report for my business, which costs me $10 to file directly through the state. The form has been created to look like official government mail. I understand this company, or people associated with it, are being sued by the Florida.

They send Periodic Report forms to LLCs stating that $110 is due w/ in 60 days. This is a $10 fee that is filed directly with the Secretary of State. It takes about a minute to do this on the secretary of stare website. And my LLC is currently in good standing.

I received a notice from this company that my annual business fee is due for 185.00. The small print on the bottom of the form states that I can renew directly at the State of Oregon for 100.00. I logged in to the State of Oregon. My renewal isn't due until July. The invoice looks like it came from the State of Oregon, had my registry number and my business information. My first though was why was Oregon increasing my fee.

Good Morning,

I'm alerting you that when I was on your website (see first screenshot) and read "For more information about the email notification service and preventing business identity theft, click here."I clicked on "click here" and was brought to an unsecure page. See second screenshot.

I hope you can fix this security risk ASAP.

Via USPS, I received a scam request for payment for $110 for help with filing my periodic report in January 2020 from W.C.S. Perhaps this security risk is how they illegally procured my information?

Please confirm receipt of this communication.

WCS is stating that the periodic report for my small business is due. That they will process it, for a fee of course. It looks legit, but i had just checked on my business page a week prior so I knew the information on the paper was false.
