Titled Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting
Dated 9/3/2024 with a due date of 9/17/2024
there is no contact information outside of the return address. The form does not include a phone, email or website for contact.
The letter was formatted to appear official, citing the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, and included a deadline for response. However, upon further inspection, I noticed that the letter also stated that C.P.S. is a non-governmental organization with no contract with any government agency, which contradicts the implication that the manual is required by law.
My business is a sole proprietorship with no employees, and I operate entirely from a home office in a computer-based capacity. After researching, I found that OSHA provides free resources and that I am not required to purchase any safety manual from a third party, especially given the nature of my business.
The tactics used by C.P.S. are misleading and predatory, targeting small business owners who may not be familiar with OSHA regulations. They create a false sense of urgency and legal requirement, pressuring business owners to purchase an unnecessary product for $295.
I believe this is a deceptive practice aimed at exploiting small businesses, and I am reporting it to the ScamPulse.com to raise awareness and potentially prevent others from falling victim to this scam. It is important that C.P.S. is held accountable for misleading business owners and using scare tactics to sell their product.
On the piece of mail it stated a few publications from OSHA, stated what fines will occur if I don't go through with this. Had my business formation date, business id number, my business name and address.
I am very concerned that I was targeted, which means many, many businesses received this same communication. I was not aware that I had to file this info, and the scare tactic of fines, etc., made me take notice of the form. It really requires one to read all the fine print, which many people do not do, especially small business owners.
Please warn small businesses about this scam!
