Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap has announced a recent scam affecting numerous Maine corporations. Solicitations were mailed to Maine corporations from a company called Corporate Records Service stating that the entity needs to file certain company information, including corporate minutes and annual meetings, and also pay a $125.00 fee. The solicitations reference Maine statues to appear legitimate; however, these mailings are not endorsed by the Secretary of State’s office. Corporate minutes do not need to be filed with the Secretary of State’s office. The state does require annual report filings, which are due on or before June 1. Remember that any official notice received from the Secretary of State’s office will contain the Maine state seal, the Secretary of State’s name, and contact information for the Bureau of Corporations, Elections and Commissions.
