    Just to clarify since the reply from the company indicated their fee was expressed in multiple places, I wanted to clarify- I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THEIR COMPANY-  I filed a government required form on a government website- when I went to check the status I got re-directed to this site and tried to log in with the info I had signed up on the government site with- once I realized it was a different site all together I ended my web page- it seems they used that information to sign me up and charge my account more than 4 months later.

    I was trying to research my cars vin history as the dealership couldn't find a carfax on the vehicle. Found vin history or Global Informatics LLC, whoever they claim to be. I've contacted them numerous times by emailing, calling and chatting. They said my subscription was to be canceled. Well it wasn't because my card was charged $29.95. Something needs to be done about this place. Scam central. Please help me get this resolved

    November 2024, I contracted with this entity to file a business BOIR; however, the gov't later determined that we as US citizens did not need to file this report. That was determined on March 25, 2025.On April 30th, this company deducted $349.00 from my checking account for filing the report (that didn't need to be filed). However, when they gave me a tracking number to check the report status on the government site (************************************************) the tracking information did not work. I tried multiple times and then called again. We confirmed the tracking number I had was correct but still didn't work.I requested a receipt for the filing via email two times with no response - I check my spam folder repeatedly. **************** I was charged for a service they did not provide or NEED to provide as they withdrew funds from my bank account AFTER the gov't notice went out I no longer needed to file. Thanks for your time.

    BOIR.org is posing as a necessary government site to file your beneficial ownership information. It misleads business owners into thinking this is the site to file their BOI. You have to read the fine print at the bottom to see that there is an option to file at no cost at a different website. It does not claim up front that this is a streamlined service for a fee. It does not mention a fee anywhere. I filed in November of 2024 and in April 2025 was charged a $349 fee from this company. This company is completely misleading business owners who are already feeling stressed into filing this report. They are capitalizing on that confusion. They go by Global Informatics LLC or BOIR.org Even in the receipt they sent me they did not mention a charge. It is fraud. If this was a legitimate business they would advertise what they are selling and be very open and clear about the fee.

    At the end of 2024, I found out that businesses had to file a Beneficial Ownership Information Report. I signed up with boir.org in order to do this. I later found out from my accountant I no longer needed to file this because the rules had changed. I was emailed from BOIR.org to let me know they would be charging me $349 for a subscription. After they charged me, I called them to let them know I no longer needed their services and would like a refund. The first time I called, I was hung up on. They said take it up with my financial institution. I called back immediately and then was told it would take five business days to receive a refund. Nothing happened. I called my credit union where the funds were taken from. They said because a certain number of days had passed, they could not help me either. I called BOIR.org again. I told them about the five business days I was promised and I did not receive the funds back. They gave me another excuse of no decision being made. I questioned why that was and was told I needed to wait again. When I said this wasn't helpful, I was once again hung up on.

    On November, 4, 2024, I completed my information on a pop up form including my bank account number and ACH authorization for $149.00 to ?le the report. Once I hit "send", I did NOT get any con?rmation email, even though they say to look up my BOIR Submission Status on their website with a tracking number they would send. I cannot do that as not submission tracking ID number was ever sent me. If I look up my company, they request payment to continue the submission process. I realized I had been scammed and wrote off the $149 charge to my stupidity. HOWEVER, on April 28, 2025, I received an email saying they would charge my bank account $349 for my annual membership. I never signed up for an annual membership and as there was no actual ?ling ever made on my behalf, I was stunned. I emailed them to NOT charge my account and attempted to 'cancel' my subscription using the button on their website. However, the money was still removed from my bank account. Even though I tried to stop it on both my bank's end and on the website of the fraudulent company. The merchant name on the bank transaction is Global Informatics LLC. The phone number has a recorded message to send an email to ***************** I've sent numerous emails to this address with no response. I have print screens I could share with you of my attempts. On May 22, 2025 I called a new phone number ************ I found on the BBB website. WhenI called, the agent said they had no proof of my prior attempts to contact them or cancel my subscirption and that they would reach out to "the team" and that they gave me a tracking number to look up my first submission. Which does not come up in the FinCEN system.
