DES MOINES, IOWA (January 9, 2025) — Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird is warning Iowans about reports of fake links meant to scam Iowa business-owners who are searching for Corporate Transparency Act registration information.
AG Bird offers the following tips for Iowans to protect themselves from the scam:
- Do NOT Send Money: Corporate Transparency Act registration does NOT include a registration fee. Any website demanding payment is a scam.
- Double-check: Iowans should always double check that they are using a trusted, government website to submit their registration information, such as fincen.gov/boi.
- Look for Typos: Verify that the website URL does not include misspellings.
Iowans suspicious of a Corporate Transparency Act scam should immediately contact the Iowa Attorney General’s Office at 1-888-777-4590 or file a complaint online at iowaattorneygeneral.gov/for-consumers/file-a-consumer-complaint.
