Type of a scam Online Purchase

The upload feature is not working so i cannot upload for you the form they sent. Essentially, a pretty official form with some of my personal information typed in some cells (name, address, biz name, start date (which was incorrect I think-which was one red flag), the form asked for my email address, credit card info, including the security code, and only gave the option to pay by credit card. Also, the charge was to appear on my bank statement as "Compliance Filings Inc." (also strange). After researching for a website, and the phone number online, I found that this money request has already been reported as a scam. If you would like the form, please let me know how I can get it to you.

2023 & They are still trying to scam/trick small business owners

Like everyone else, i received the official looking Fictitious Business Name renewal form & I almost went into panic mode because I had already missed the return by date. I started looking for a way to renew the name without having to mail it in & that's when I realized that this was a scam just to see if they could trick me into renewing through them.

Type of a scam Government Agency Imposter

I received an official-looking letter from FICTITIOUS BUSINESS NAME RENEWAL CENTER indicating my fictitious business name needed renewing. The form looked very official and I missed the fine print at the bottom indicating it was not so. I filled out the form, wrote check 117 first to the Los Angeles Country Recorder as I had done in past years , but before mailing, I saw the enveloped flap indicated the check should be made out to FBNRC. I voided my check no. 117 and wrote another check no. 118 made out to FBNRC.I mailed the check with form. Two days later, I double-checked Fictitious Business Name Renewal Center on Google Search and realized this outfit scams people. I went to my bank to stop payment. My check had not yet been cashed. This company has apparently been in business for 22 years and needs to be stopped.

Type of a scam Government Agency Imposter

This company mailed me form that looks just like an official FBN Statement. It asked for my companies full informationand asked me to send a check for $159.00 to refile the renewal, which I did unfortunately. The check has now been cashed and I have no way to get my money back and pay for the actual renewal that is now also due.

Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

Received a mailing that looks like an invoice for a fictitious business name renewal. It came already filled out with my company info and is meant to look like they are affiliated with the Santa Clara county recorder. There is a disclaimer at the bottom if you read down that far, so I'm sure they will say that they are not being deceptive, but the document is created to look like official county correspondence.

Type of a scam Counterfeit Product

I received official-looking notice indicating my Fictitious Business Name Renewal date was coming up. I submitted the form and a check for $125. I later received a notice from the county clerk’s office reminding me of the renewal date. I didn’t do anything, since I had already submitted the renewal and payment. Since this is my 1st time renewing, I didn’t realize the first notice I received was coming from a 3rd party agency. I just found out that the renewal price is about 1/3 of what I paid. I am requesting a refund!

Oct 2015

In mid October I received an urgent official-looking letter in the mail asking me to renew my fictitious business name. The notice was from Compliance Filings, Inc. aka as “Fictitious Business Name Renewal Center” located at 2740 Fulton Ave Ste. 203 Sacramento, CA 95821. The notice asked me to pay $125 to renew my business name. The company used deceiving tactics to dupe me into thinking it was a government agency.

These are the details that appeared on my credit card transaction:

I googled this business and found out that some people fell for victims to this scam before. I have filed a dispute with my credit card company. I want to report this scam to BBB so hopefully more people will know about their deceiving tactics.
