You will find his name in the BAd Archives. He is advertising for customers to use his services to fill out paperwork for a fee. The paperwork can be obtained *by anyone* and filed for a small fee but Mr. Ellingson charges for all of his services doing it for you. I have corresponded with him and he readily admits that this is one way he gets his customers. Regards, Sharyn
