I received a letter from BOI Compliance Services addressed to my business, dated March 11, 2025 with the subject line "Subject: URGENT: BOI Reporting Requirement Reinstated - New Deadline March 21, 2025". The letter instructs me to file a BOI report by March 21 by filling out their attached form and sending in $125. The form itself claims that "Noncomplicance within 90 days of formation may result in fines of $591 per day, up to a maximum of $10,000." This is not only a lie, but an attempt to coerce me into sending them their arbitrary monetary demand, as it's clearly stated on fincen.gov as of February 25, 2025: "FinCEN announced that it will not issue any fines or penalties or take any other enforcement actions against any companies based on any failure to file or update beneficial ownership information (BOI) reports pursuant to the Corporate Transparency Act by the current deadlines."

As a second major red flag, they've used my personal mailing address as the supposed business address, which does not agree with the business office address on file. Their form is asking for my name, address, email, phone number, a copy of my driver's license (or passport), and my social security number. I'm sure if I threw them a cool $125, they'd take extra special care of such highly sensitive personal information...

They send you a letter that looks like it's from a government agency requesting a filing fee for "business reporting". It looks very real and could defiantly scare some people thinking they forgot to file a form. They threaten $500 dollars a day if you do not respond by a certain time and the date I received this letter was 3 days after they said to respond. They are 100% trying to get more money out of people if they read it carefully.
