Received this the other day and figured I would post a warning since this was so well done.
The punchline is that I received a letter allegedly from the “Corporations and Charities Division” claiming that I owed $230 for a renewal of my LLC. All of the details on the letter were correct (business name, UBI#, etc.). There were a few subtle red flags (you do not submit formation documents every year, I actually renew/report in June, sending a check is weird) but I was pretty close to just paying this.
I’ve verified with the actual Corporations and Charities Division that this is a scam. I’ve also submitted a complaint to the WA AG office (which you should too if you get this letter).
Here’s a link to the actual letter: Bogus Letter
Scary stuff…
