            Government Action: BBB reports on known government actions involving business’ marketplace conduct::
            State of Colorado and ANS Inc., doing business as Workplace Compliance Services
            The Colorado Attorney General has entered a settlement with Workplace Compliance Services, claiming the company illegally solicited Colorado businesses using advertising that lacked required legal disclaimers. Under the terms of the settlement, the company will issue refunds to affected consumers and will include correct disclaimers on future ads.

            According to the State of Colorado, while it is legal to send solicitations offering to file documents with the secretary of state’s office on a client’s behalf, these ads must contain a disclaimer in at least 24-point font explaining to recipients that it is not coming from or on behalf of a government agency, and that businesses are not required to pay or otherwise act on the offer.

            According to the AG's office, the company, which charges businesses $150 to file periodic reports required by the secretary of state, assured Department of Law attorneys that it has already refunded $7,000 to 50 businesses. Under the terms of the settlement, the company will refund an additional $11,900 to 85 more businesses.
            In addition to the required refunds, Workplace Compliance Services will provide a report of all refunds issued, will submit future ads to the Department of Law for review, and will pay an additional $7,000 for reasonable costs related to the state’s investigation.

              A quick google search will show you they are a predatory scam company but doesn’t hurt to keep giving them bad reviews so hopefully they will stop their scummy tactics. When I started my first business I believed this and almost sent the check for the OSHA manual before researching it. Now I have multiple businesses and every time I incorporate a new one they send new letters that go straight to the trash. They must just look at the corporate services section of every state site, I’m sure they are making good money with lots of new business owners or elderly ones or people just too busy to read it thoroughly. Bad practices… Filing the annual report only takes 5 minutes, don’t pay this trash “company” hundreds to do it for you. And your check goes straight to a UPS access point…

              Hello Ms. , Just like you, we have many satisfied customers who read and understood the flyer, and chose to use our services. CPS is a private entity offering to complete the service of filing your Periodic Report****for you, much like any lawyer or accountant would, but we do it for considerably less money. I can assure you this is not a scam. We are a legitimate business. Our flyer has multiple disclosures in ALL CAPS so it is clearly seen. You are not required to use our services and our flyer is not a bill. If you would like to speak with a member of our customer service team, our phone number is 877-770-3555. We have a 100% unconditional money-back guarantee. Our records indicate that an order was not placed. We will have you removed from our mailing list. You will not receive any further correspondence from our offices. Sincerely CPS Customer Service Department
