Description
Scammer sent what looked like an official Virginia SCC business registration renewal reminder, claiming the registration was late, and a penalty of $150 was due. They included a "scan this QR code" to easily pay your registration fee, and a detachable section with which you could mail a check. Upon checking the Virginia SCC site, I found all my businesses to be fully active with no outstanding fees. Then, I googled the company, Next Step Filings, and found them to be a widely known scam.
