Possible scam or phishing aimed at WA businesses


Notice

Many of us use e-file for various business filing requirements. I kept getting an email from a WA Filing Services that I suspected was not legitimate.

WA Filing Services <wa@e.myfilingservices.com 

THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL WA State filing LOGO

This is either a scam or a third party for profit company phishing for your business.

Annual reports are filed on the SOS.WA.GOV and B&O/Sales Tax are filed on DOR.WA.GOV

NOTE the .GOV on the web address.  ALWAYS CHECK THE SENDER ADDRESS on an EMAIL when in doubt.

If a business is unsure about an email correspondence with the Department of Revenue or has questions related to this scam, they are asked to call 360-705-6741. https://dor.wa.gov/about/phishing-and-scams

Any business or nonprofit that believes it may be the target of a scam should file a complaint with the Attorney General’s Office.
