An entity is posing as the
Virginia State Corporation Commission and is attempting to solicit money from
companies and corporations. The entity sends official looking notices to
companies and requests $125 to file annual reports that go to the State Corporation
Commission.
The SCC has received numerous
inquiries regarding the notices and has even posted an alert on their website.
According to the SCC, "A search of the Commission's business entity
records in the Clerk's Office revealed no information about a company with the
name Virginia Council for the Corporations."
The SCC advises, "Any
corporation that has questions about the solicitation of form is encourage to
obtain advice from its lawyer or business advisor. Also, the Clerk's Office can
be contacted at (804) 371-9733 or 1-866-722-2551 (toll-free in Virginia) for
information about corporate annual report and other business entity filing
requirements under Virginia law."

notice and the alert
posted by the SCC.
