Be sure to read the fine print!!! This letter looks official enough with a "corporations code" & threat of non compliance status. However, it is false. The fine print reads "This product has not been approved or endorsed by any Government Agency & this offer is not being made by an agency of the Government", etc. The last sentance says, "You are under no obligation to make any payments on account of this offer." My guess this is the rip off artists legal mumbo jumbo to avoid lawsuits. They seem to target companies such as mine that do a lot of business in other states, assuming the home office doesn't keep track of its foreign coropration status & fees. I suggest keeping individual state files on hand, so if someone in your company doesn't read the fine print they can go to the state file to see these "fees" are fraudulent. I also suggest faxing, emailing or snail mailing this letter to the particular state. I did so for California & I received a letter from them thanking me & telling me that California is trying to set in place legislation that would make phony offers such as this illegal, therefore persons/rip off company involved would be prosecuted.By sending them "proof" they had evidence of fraud to move forward.
