Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

Workplace Compliance Services is just a scam.

The letter and return envelope they supply are very professional looking, they look just like government forms. But if you look closely you’ll see that they have nothing to do with the state (Colorado) or federal government. It’s just a scam, trying to get you to pay an $85 fee on top of a state government fee that costs only $10 and you can easily file online in ten minutes.

BEWARE BUSINESS OWNER FRIENDS!!

If you receive a "2019 - ANNUAL REGISTRATION INSTRUCTION FORM" offering a paper renewal for your LLC, throw it away. An organization fronting as "Workplace Compliance Services" is mailing out these fraudulent forms. It's a total scam. The ONLY way to renew your biz is on the Secretary of State website.

I received one and they look legit

Letter is title Annual Registration Instruction Form. They are asking for $135 to register my business for the year, stating it includes state fees and their fee. This is the time of year to register businesses with the state so I almost fell for it but the fee is a lot higher than I paid the state last year. I looked up name of Workplace Compliance Services on internet which said it was a scam.

There's not much I can say much else other than I received this in the mail thinking at first being legitimate. However, I noticed a few things that sounded really off. Like how they were immediately demanding 135 dollars and the lack of any website or email address. In addition, the letter stated that it wasn't a government agency or contracted by any so that ringed a lot of alarm bells. I looked up the company's name on Google and found many sites calling this company a scam. Found out that they were straight up scammers named Steve Fata and David Brake out of Lansing, Michigan.

I received a letter in the mail today addressed to my business from Workplace Compliance Services. The title of the form is "2019 - Annual Report Instruction Form (Georgia LLCs)". The form has our business ID number, address, name and address of the company registered agent and original start date of my company, which they must have gotten from our public records. This makes the form seem all the more official.

In recent past, I had filed my annual registration for my LLC at the ga.gov site which costed $50. Hence, was surprised to see a separate mail again for annual registration from and unknown agency “Workplace Compliance Services” with a local address. Upon further checks I soon realized it was a scam asking me to send $135 to the company address. At the same time, I saw written in the middle of the form, "Workplace Compliance Services is not a government agency and does not have a contract with any government agency to provide this service." I think this is to cover the company.

I have not paid anything to this company, never the less wanted to let you know that this scam is now in GA too having seen previous reports from other states.

Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

I received an invoice in the mail to submit $175 for a 2019 annual report for an LLC business that I own. I almost sent them the check but noticed that they have a disclaimer that states that "they are not a goverment agency and do not have a contract to provide this service". On checking the internet several other warnings appear for the same company.

I received a letter with information about a yearly LLC fee, which is $100 dollars . It is paid by me every year, with no middleman required.

This fake invoice says to pay them directly, "Workplace Compliance Services" $185.00. They don't say they will even pay the fee.

I looked up the address where they want the money sent , 2755 Commercial St,SE Ste.101-260 Salem, OR 97302 and it's a UPS store in Salem, Oregon that has personnel mail boxes.

The legitimate LLC I send my payment to, has a different address and billing system altogether.

The sent an invoice for our business to warn us that we need to file our annual report before May and that they charge $238.75 to file the annual report for us. The address on the invoice is for a UPS store, which is fishy and they are charging double then to file directly with Sunbiz.org. They are already on BBB for scam.

Early January 2019 I received through the mail a form titled "2019 - Periodic Report Instruction Form". At first I thought it was a reminder to file online, but upon closer inspection they are a company which uses government terminology to scare people into giving them a $75 dollar "processing fee," bringing the total money they are asking for to $85.

According to this website, Steven Fata and David Brake are behind this scam, and they have been scamming people for years, to the point where they have even been prosecuted:

The above article shows images of the same form which came to me. Upon looking up the names mentioned in the article, there are additional articles which talk about the above scammers.

While it was fairly easy to Google search and see it was a scam, the wording of the letter is tricky, so I would still like to report this to warn people that even after years of criminal activity, these people are still at it, targeting small businesses. The given address is a UPS store, which I assume is some sort of PO box for an individual to pick up money from.

Our company received a form in the mail which is made to look like an official State government form. The title of the form is "2019 - Annual Report Instruction Form (Connecticut L L Cs)". The form has our business ID number and original start date, which they must have gotten from our public records. This makes the form seem all the more official. My boss brought me the form to process but I immediately was confused because #1, the form states that we did not file the year before; which was inaccurate and #2 the cost of filing the annual report is $20 and they were billing for $130. Upon closer look, I saw written in the middle of the form, "Workplace Compliance Services is not a government agency and does not have a contract with any government agency to provide this service." I suspect that keeps the company safe from legal issues but it is absolutely clear that the form is designed to fool companies into believing it is sent from the State and that it is a bill for past/overdue annual report filings. Shame on them.

this company offers to assist in filing your $10.00 business periodic report with the Colorado Sec of State for a fee of $75.00. they do say they are not a go0vernment agency (in much smaller font size), but include official Co government statutes on the official-looking form.

don't be scammed! every registered business order gets a notification form the CO SoS, via email and/or regular mail, to file their periodic reports.

We rec'd 2 letters for 2 CT biz entities we own. WCS specifically stated that both companies were non compliant with SOS filings for over a year. For a mere $110, they would be happy to get us back in compliance. Here's the deal. The annual filing fee is $10. IF we were late, we would be charged a late fee on top of that. And WCS is taking a $100 to file your docs (that you can do very easily yourself!). So if you are already complaint, they make $110 for themselves by doing nothing! FRAUD! We were compliant (both filed in Aug 2018), so WCS deliberately lied in their letter. Again FRAUD!

Today I received a fake invoice from this company stating I was behind in filing my LLC's Annual Report. I knew that wasn't true because I keep a copy in a folder in my email. I also logged into my account via my state's (CT) Secretary of State's Office and saw that it isn't due for a couple of months. I googled the phone number on the "invoice" and already saw reports on the BBB matching the same business, warning business owners in Louisana of this scam. This is obviously a scam because the Secretary of State's Office wouldn't employ a third-party service to collect filings. This piece of mail is disturbing because it contains some personal information.

Received in mail after opening up a business account at my bank two weeks ago requesting immediate payment of $85.00 to file information about our LLC to the State of Colorado. If I did not respond before 1/11/19 I may be at risk for penalties and fines with the State of Colorado.

The Notice date was 12/4/18 which caught my eye since I just received the letter on 1/2/2019. I immediately wondered if in fact this was questionable and looked up the name and phone number of the company. Sure enough there had been other reports of fraudulent concern. I don't want anyone to be taken advantage of through this type of action. Fortunately, I have learned the hard way and don't want anyone else to be manipulated.
