Complete Fraud

I do not know how this company acquired our business banking information and personal information however they have been charging our account since 2025 349.00 for something we did not sign up for. My bank SouthState will not refund the money.

These are the worst scammers

These are the worst scammers! I got taken in December 2024 and now, on Jan. 1 they RE-CHARGED me for $349 to file again, without even contacting me. It took me 45 min to lodge a dispute with my bank. Their 888 number doesn't even answer.

This is a scam

This is a scam. There is no annual filing. It is a one-time report.

In addition, the report is just as easy to file for free online. And is no longer legally required.

BOIR IS A SCAM - BEWARE!!

BOIR.org poses as a government filing site for small businesses to file updated business information that used to be legally required by the government back in 2024. Well, the filing is free and somehow BOIR got my business checking information from my tax ID. THEY ARE SCAMMERS. I have filed claims with my bank, the FTC, and cancelled my business checking account. Of course, I doubt I'll see a penny returned. $349 lesson learned!

It is a fraudulent company

It is a fraudulent company. Paid $349 for a free service last year. Website is made to look like the official government website. Then a couple of days ago, they somehow managed to make a fake check and cash it for another $349 for a renewal fee. I was able to get someone on the phone with the number on the memo line of the check. She said she would issue a refund. When she started asking for personal information, I just hung up and contacted my bank to start a fraud dispute. The number was 888-991-8587 and someone did answer.

BOIR.ORG IS A SCAM

I went to the free government site and somehow ended up on Boir.org.

I uploaded my passport information and realized it was a scam when they ask for $349.

I went back and tried to delete my information, but the site would not let me and then locked me out. I'm now concerned about Identity theft.

The phone number they list is fake, and you can't get a hold of anyone.

STAY CLEAR

Not only did they charge me for a free service, they made another debit from my account as a "Renewal fee"

I filed and submitted through them on…

I filed and submitted through them on 12/19/2014. I had no idea that this was a free filing. It was a one time fee of $300. Since then, I keep receiving emails from my business bank about charges from BOIR. GOOD THING the card I used when was already stolen. It was odd being charged monthly. I had enough and reported them to the FBI.

Beware of this company. It's free to file.

Once I found out that this filing can be completed free I reached out to BOIR.com and had the cancel my filing. I received correspondence from them that it was canceled and a refund is applicable. This was in early March. Still no refund. They are replying to emails but still no refund. Unfortunately my bank says too much time has passed for them to do anything so I am looking for other ways to try and get a refund. If anyone has had luck with getting your money back I would love to hear it. I have an email where they say I am entitled to a refund. I plan to use that correspondence to seek legal action.

This is a scam

This is a scam. This is a free service and not needed for domestic companies. The actual site mentions this but this fraudulent site takes your money without letting you know you do not need to file. Informed my CC company they charge your credit card at whim.

Absolute scam

Absolute scam. I have never used, been to or even heard of Boir.org and they tried to charge $349 to my debit account. I am unsure how they got my details but they were unsuccessful in taking my money, thankfully. I hope the police catch up with them very soon.

Fraudulent website

Fraudulent website. Please do not use them. I doubt you can contact them by phone as it just cuts off. Then they have repeatedly tried to charge my credit card. My credit card company has cut them off from my account. They have made NUMEROUS attempts to fraudulently charge my VISA.

I purchased and paid for a BOIR report…

I purchased and paid for a BOIR report in December 2024, which I received. However, I later discovered that I could have obtained the same report for free through the official government website—"buyer beware".
What’s even more frustrating is that four months later, in May 2025, the company billed me again, claiming I had an automatic renewal for ongoing access to the report they had created for 2024. I never agreed to any recurring renewal, nor did I need additional reports. Their was NO NOTICE given that a renwal was going to take place.
To make matters worse, there is no way to contact customer service by phone. Attempts to reach them only lead to an unclear voicemail at their customer service line, directing me to their website. I have wrote them based on the original confirming email that my Boir report was completed, asking them to cancel any and all renewals. They have not responded. My bank has denied the payment on my credit cartd as i had asked them to, recognizing this as an aggressive and fraudulent tactic.
Now, I am stuck spending countless hours filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau or seeking out a government agency to address this issue. Beware—this company employs aggressive and misleading practices, particularly regarding automatic renewals for services tied to a single, previously completed and paid for report.

Scam

Scam. Same $349 initial charge then another made-up $149 a few weeks later. Chase actually sent a fraud alert on the initial charge, which I foolishly approved, thinking it was a legit website. A few days later they took my credit card number and ordered $500+ of food from EZ-Cater at Eggy’s diner. I guess lunch for the scam office? Thankfully Chase caught it and I declined that one.

This is a scam

This is a scam. All entities created in the United States — including those previously known as “domestic reporting companies” — and their beneficial owners are now exempt from the requirement to report beneficial ownership information to FinCEN. Existing foreign companies that must report their beneficial ownership information have at least an additional 30 days from March 26, 2025—until April 25, 2025, for most companies—to do so.
