You may have
recently received a letter from Corporate
Records Service, soliciting for funds under the guise of
providing a service for the recording of annual company minutes. They are
asking that company shareholders, directors, and officers, submit their Annual
Minutes Records, along with a check for $125.00, made payable to the Corporate Records Service,
in order for them to, “satisfy
the annual minutes requirements for your corporation.” (No later
than January 30, 2013.)
This is a
scam! It is not a requirement for you to submit your recorded minutes OR a
payment to this company.
While you
are required, under Florida law, to keep annual meeting minutes, you are not
required to submit them or hire a company to prepare them for you. You may
engage an attorney to prepare them, prepare them yourself, or use a company
such as Corporate
Records Service to prepare them.
If you
receive, or have received, a notice from the Corporate Records Service, DO NOT be
fooled into giving them information or sending a payment. They try this each year when you are busy complying with tax items and hoping your will be tricked by their official looking notice.
