Colorado Dept of State Imposter - Scammer

They mail business owners, me included, an official notice to file your periodic report with Secretary of State. They must get our filing dates from the state of CO. They send a notice to file your periodic report on their site not the Sate of CO website. They charge $75. I knew my periodic report was due around 11-22. Coincidently, they send me the notice to file right around the date my report was due. I say to myself, wow, Sec. of State raised their annual fee to $75. With all the inflation price increases, I assumed wrongfully that the State of CO raised their fees also and paid it. Didn't have time to research it. My bad. Desperate fool in Colorado Springs deceiving CO business owners. His business filing is a P.O. Box in Colorado Springs. However, I found him. HIs name is Jerod "Rod" Ermel located 2 N. Nevada, #1100, Colorado Springs, CO 80903 719-219-1040. Really desperate to make a lousy $65.

Type of a scam Phishing

A caller from 503-660-5553, which leads to a supposed business but appears in reality to be an address for a UPS store, tried to collect personal information based on a supposed inquiry by my wife about life insurance. This is clearly a scam. The caller, who identified himself as Jack Johnson, claimed to be an underwriter not working for ANY company. When pressed, he claimed to be gathering the information for the state of Oregon, which, of course, licensed him! I asked him how the scam works, how he would use the information he collected. He didn't like that and quickly gave up after that. As a note, he called repeatedly one day no matter how many times my wife ignored the call. Then he did it again after she hung up on him once and refused the second call. I took the third call just to see where it might lead. Nothing lost. Nothing gained. I wish it were more amusing. I post here as a warning. We received a total of seven calls from this number.

I googled the phone number, buzzfile.com linked the number to Smart Key Investments according to in Salem, OR and lists a Jack Frazier as an agent. This is the address associated with the business according to buzzfile.com: 2755 Commercial St SE Ste 101-151 Salem, OR, 97302-4981 United States. There doesn't seem to be much further information about this business or phone number other than a reposted warning on facebook from the Oregon secretary of state about another scam using that address with different details.

Type of a scam Government Agency Imposter

Colorado Compliance Services mails an official looking form listing a Colorado LLC with the factual business' LLC data, and states that public records indicate the (named) LLC is delinquent in the require annual report filing, which can happen. A fee of $75 is requested by check to address the delinquency. This USPS mail fraud should be stopped. In the meantime, ScamPulse.com posting this scam is the only way to get the word to business owners to not be taken in.

I elected not to attach the form they sent me, since it contains my personal data which I don't want posted online with this complaint. I will share it with ScamPulse.com or an authorized agent.

Periodic Report Service

Received a letter telling me to file a Periodic Report Service Form 2022 with the CO Secretary State. The letter even quotes CO REV Stat 7-90-301(1) (a), and CO REV Stat 7-90-301(3), and CO Rev Stat 7-90-501 (4) (c) (I), and CO Rev Stat 7-90-501 (7). They want $75 which included $10 State fee and CCS processing fee.

Received very official looking letter showing Annual Report Compliance for my LLC. However I am in compliance and the Record ID they gave isn't mine! They have the right name and address but not the right record ID. Check with the state before you give money to these bozos! They wanted $10 for the Report Fee and $85 for Filing it!

LLC Registration scam

I received this invoice and, as it had been a year since I first registered my LLC, I thought it was from the state. Upon further investigation, I see this is a scam. Do not feel badly if you fell for it, it's pretty smooth. Contact your bank and dispute the charge immediately. Then, you'll have to probably get a new card to avoid them selling your current info.
Further, they have a "refund request" form right there on their site, I assume helping them to track how many "orders" people figure out are a scam. The base charge seems to be $65, not the end of the world ... your card # gets around.

I almost fell for it. This is my first year as a small business owner and received a Periodic report service form. I really thought it was legit, but I've learned to research everything I receive in the mail. I'm really glad I did.
SO MANY [censored] OUT THERE!

Letter designed to create the appearance of coming from the State of Colorado and the false indication of delinquency in filing the business' periodic report with the Secretary of State demands a punitive fee to take care of the problem. In addition the letter demands account authorization, risking business identity theft. While disclaimers do exist in tiny print, the presentation is so convincing I nearly fell for it, incurring undue stress, loss of sleep, and loss of 10 hours of time figuring out what's going on and filing complaints with the CO Secretary of State (who apparently doesn't have a fraud investigation function), BBB, the Attorney General, and FTC.

Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

I received a statement and bill from this company called "Period Report Service Form - 2021".

It states at the top "Public Records indicate as of has not filed an annual periodic report with the Colorado Secretary of State. Please follow the instructions exactly when completing this form to file a periodic report."

I document this every year. This company targets small business, and send a form that appears to be very "official." They warn that you have not filed an annual periodic report with the state of Colorado for your small business, and they indicate that "it" has expired. For only $65 dollars they will do this for me. I believe my annual re-registration with the state is $10 (?) and can be done online. This would easily fool some folks regarding their small business, especially the elderly.

I received a notice in the mail to renew my Periodic Report for my LLC for the State of Colorado. I went to the website and my software blocked it as it was a phishing site.
