AUGUSTA, Maine — Maine’s Secretary of State is warning businesses of a misleading solicitation that is targeting companies by asking them for a fee.
Secretary of State Shenna Bellows says the solicitation is from a group that calls itself “C.F.S.” that sends materials that resemble the Maine Division of Corporations’ annual report form.
Bellows says the mailings offer to file annual reports for a $185 fee.
Bellows says the solicitation is not recognized by the state and does not come from a state agency.
