Many New York business owners are receiving fraudulent and misleading notifications.  A new scam is advising businesses to pay a $125 processing fee “required” by New York State Law.  Andrew M. Cuomo is warning business owners to be wary of scams that use deception to coerce businesses into paying unnecessary fees.

The document titled “2014 Annual Corporate Minutes” uses selective quotes from sections of New York’s Business Corporation Law.  Although the document looks official, New York State does not require businesses to file corporate minutes.  Any companies that receive these fraudulent notices are encouraged to report them to the State’s Division of Consumer Protection.  They are working with law enforcement agencies to prosecute fraud against New York businesses.
