Important Alert Regarding Membership Dues Invoices

It has come to our attention that there is a "Chamber of Commerce of Times Square" mailing membership dues invoices to companies in and around Times Square and in some cases using the "Times Square Alliance" on their paperwork. This is not an initiative of the Times Square Alliance nor is it a bill from MCC. This is coming from "an organization" with a virtual office here in the Times Square area, using the address of 1501 Broadway.

The invoices are apparently being mailed from Brockton MA or other locations and are for membership dues, as noted.

There is also a federal tax ID number on the invoice which does not seem to be a registered number. Complaints have been registered with the NYPD, Post Office, Better Business Bureau, NYC Dept. of Consumer Affairs and NY Attorney General's office.

We are alerting you to this and encourage you to never pay invoices unless you double check them - from chambers or other organizations to make sure they are legitimate.

Should you have any questions or if you received one of these invoices, please feel free to contact us at 212-473-7875 or send an email to np@manhattancc.org.
