Woman Mysteriously Becomes a Boss – Became the Legal Representative of Five Companies Without Contributing a Penny
Recently, the Administrative Approval Bureau of Wuhou District, Chengdu City, announced that it has formed an investigation team with the Public Security Bureau and Market Supervision Administration to investigate the case of Ms. Yang from Baoji, Shaanxi, being fraudulently registered as the legal representative of five companies without her knowledge, and will handle the matter according to law and regulations based on the investigation results.
It is reported that in March of this year, Ms. Yang unexpectedly discovered five companies registered in Wuhou District, Chengdu, under her name while filing taxes for her own company, with two of them listing her as the legal representative.
Ms. Yang immediately stated that she had never been to Chengdu, her ID card had not been lost, and she had not authorized anyone to handle company registration, and was completely unaware of these five companies.
According to the retrieved industrial and commercial registration files, only the ID card number in all materials is true, while the contact phone number, residential address, and agent information are all forged, and the file signatures are completely inconsistent with Ms. Yang's handwriting.
More seriously, all five companies have been listed as having abnormal operations and non-normal tax status, directly leading to Ms. Yang's own company being unable to file taxes normally and her business being severely affected.
On April 21st, Ms. Yang traveled to Chengdu to protect her rights. Local approval department staff revealed that they have contacted the then-delegated agent, but the agent explicitly refused to cooperate with the investigation.
Ms. Yang questioned the approval process, believing there were loopholes, such as not requiring her to be present, not verifying her signature, and not performing facial recognition, allowing company registration to be completed solely with a copy of her ID card.
Currently, Ms. Yang has filed a police report.
Lawyers stated that the impersonated person does not need to bear the relevant company debts, taxes, and legal liabilities, but needs to quickly go through legal procedures to cancel the registration.
