Alleged Business Scam Leads To Lawsuit

Michigan has filed a civil lawsuit to prevent Florida-based Division of Corporate Services from operating in Michigan because of alleged deceitful business practices.

Attorney General Bill Schuette says the practices are designed to dupe Michigan companies and non-profits into sending the company $150 with a completed form to stay in good standing with the state.

The mailings are apparently made to look like official state forms.

The move by Schuette follows a complaint by a Charlevoix non-profit, The Walloon 17 foundation.
