| Business Scam Alerts | | http://www.sosnc.com/TempRestrainingOrder.pdf | | The Secretary of State's Office has discovered an apparent attempt to defraud North Carolina businesses. The "National Companies Register Corporation" is mailing "Important Final Notices" to NC businesses in an effort to collect $487 on the premise that businesses are required to nationally register under the Patriot Act of 2001.
This notice contains elements of the NC Seal & the website is capable of directing you to the NC Secretary of State's corporate search webpage. Be assured, NO such governmental national registry exists.
If you receive a fraudulent notice to register your business in a national database to avoid dissolution of your corporation, contact the US Postal Inspections Service at 1-877-876-2455 or the NC Dept of the Sect. Of State at 1-929-807-2040.
**A California company, Corporate Services, Inc, is under court order to stop sending bogus mailings to NC businesses claiming that they must pay for violating state laws on filing corporate minutes.
Businesses or consumers that get questionable letters demanding fees that claim to come from government gencies are encouraged to contact the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division at 1-877-566-7226 toll-free within NC. |
