Report

Property Records CA uses deed/property record info that is publicly available, however in their letter includes a warning of a $2,000 fine and false imprisonment while requesting $121.50 to receive a copy of the property record that was already requested. They are preying on widows, widowers and survivors. They add no value and make their documentation appear clerical in nature and threaten you with fines or imprisonment. There is small print stating they are not a government agency.

Said I need to pay $107 by July 27, 2024 to make sure my EIN is still valid. They also had a questionnaire asking me about my business, what I’m selling, websites etc. I knew it was scam when I saw the California address and looked it up myself.

Received a letter today address to my LLC. It contained a form number 9710. On this form it says dear business entity. This letter is to inform you that upon examination of your employer identification number and incorrect business code was used to describe your primary business activity. It is important to ensure that your business code accurately reflects the nature of your business for proper classification and compliance purposes. Complete this amendment and return by the due date This will not change your EIN and you may continue to use your EIN.

They have a date four days away where they want a check written to us corporate classifications for $107

I've been scammed before and did research this form does not exist.

Scammer called pretending to be the Los Angeles police department. Said the caller had a bench warrant out for his arrest as he did not show up for a jury summons. Recited back the address the jury summons was delivered and signed for (was callers old address for 20 years prior). They said he had to come in and verify signature stating that the jury summons signed was not in fact his. Said he had to do this immediately as there is a warrant out for his arrest. Told caller her can either go to the Burbank Police Station or a kiosk near our current location to freeze the bench warrant. Once the bench warrant was frozen, we could go to the police station and pay a fine to verify signature for $3000. Once signature was verified to be fraudulent, we would be reimbursed. We went to said kiosk while still on the phone with the scammer and it turned out to be a CoinStar kiosk inside of a Ralphs market. He then told the caller to put in a series of number into the machine. The machine then prompted for payment. When told this, the scammer told caller to put in a $1 or anything to bypass that screen. Caller then said he did not feel comfortable doing that and said he would go to the police station next door. The scammer said that was fine but he should take a lawyer with him as he will get arrested if he steps into a police station. Once at the station, police officer verified that that was a scam and caller had a clean record.

I applied for a Global Entry not realizing the website was scam as it looked like the actual Global Entry portal. I paid $149.95 for the fee and later I mentioned to a friend. He immediate confirmed the fee is $100.00 not $149.95. He made me realize I was scammed.

I went on the Wisconsin dfI.gov site to dissolve my LLC as I sold my business. I filled everything out and then when it came to payments, it directed me to that company for $250 so I paid it.

I contacted my lawyer to say that I’ve taken care of it and that it was $250 and he said it should only be $25 at the most so I called the company directly back and asked how they got on the Wisconsin government site. She had no answers for me. I said I just talked to my lawyer and you scammed me out of a lot of money she said I’ll return your money but we’re keeping $20 for credit card transaction so you better check into them.

Received a request on a seemingly official government document from "US Records Management" requesting a "beneficial ownership statement" for the filing fee of $119. They requested a check or money order made payable to "US Records Management". They included my LLC name and address on the document adding to the authenticity of it. They also included the penalties for non compliance and a respond by day 1 week after I had received the letter in the mail which I assume is to create a sense of urgency.

The text states that it is from "California Toll Services: We've noticed an outstanding balance of $11.69 on your record. To prevent a late fee of $50.00, please visit http://ncsunspasstollservices.com to settle your invoice." The website indicates a North Carolina Toll service.

An official-looking letter with a seal at the top from "US Records Management: Division of Corporate Reporting". It was. "beneficial ownership statement" requiring a $119 filing fee due by 5/3/24, with a notification ID USRM2024-013.

The site comes off as a government website to apply for a US passport but as soon as you pay, there is no receipt or any confirmation email there is no customer service number unless you pay. When sent in a customer service email to ask for a refund they stated they will only give 25% back
