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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
