This scam occurs regularly in states like Massachusetts, where corporations are required by law to submit annual reports.
Scammers call companies claiming to be government representatives and inquire about the submission of corporate minutes, sometimes using the expression “Compliance services”.
Not knowing about all the legal aspects, several employees fall victims by providing sensitive information about the business.
How to avoid: in Massachusetts the law requires submission of annual reports, but not of corporate minutes. Educate your employees about that and make sure you keep them updated with the newest legal issues.
