I received this official Fictitious Name Instruction Form to be sent back to them with $125.00. It looked very official but i was suspicious because of the demand of $125.00. I looked up my original documents from Florida and it said i was not up for renewal until 12/31/2018 and the charge was to be $50.00.
In rereading their form it clearly states that the FLORIDA ASSUMED NAME SERVICE is not a Government Agency and does not have a contrat with any govvernment agency to provide this service.
I also found information on line that states that Florida knows of this scam but can't close it down. BEWARE!!!
