I received two 6593 forms requesting $107 payable to US Corporate Classifications. The top left corner states EIN amendment. The return envelope has a remittance of Business Posting Dept, 5043 Graves Ave #H, San Jose, CA 95129. Very grateful I checked with the ScamPulse.com and saw the other complaints.

Report

The letter was detailing an Employer Identification Number (EIN) Amendment - Form 6593 via the US Corporate Classifications.

"Dear business entity. This letter is to inform you that upon further examination of your Employer Identification Number (EIN), an incorrect business code was used to describe your primary business activity. It is important to ensure that your business code accurately reflects the nature of your business for proper classification and compliance purposes. Complete this amendment and return by the due date. This will not change your EIN, and you may continue to use your EIN."

The form then asks for PII data such as name, email, phone number, then asks multiple yes / no questions about the business, a brief description of the services offered by the business, and then will ask for check / money order to US Corporate Classifications along with signature and date.

They sent a Form 6593 which looked very legitimate asking for my first name, last name, phone number and email. They also wanted to inquire about my business by stating that the business code used to classify my business was incorrect.

I received what appeared to be a federal form in the mail "Form 6593" titled "Employer Identification Number (EIN) Amendment" that instructed my business to "return completed form in provided envelope" and "include check for $107 to US Corporate Classifications". The letter states: "Dear business entity. This letter is to inform you that upon examination of your Employer Identification Number (EIN), an incorrect business code was used to describe your primary business activity. It is important to ensure that you business code accurately reflects the nature of your business for proper classification and compliance purposes. Complete this amendment and return by the due date. This will not change your EIN, and you may continue to use your EIN." The form proceeds to ask for personal identity information and information about my business. This company is impersonating the federal government, attempting to steal money from newly formed businesses, and should be shut down.

Using a internal form: 6593, targets EIN Amendment, that I used an incorrect business code to describe my primary business activity. Asking for payment of $107.00 , check or money order, complete amendment form and return to address provided.

Received "Employer Identification Number (EIN) Amendment," form 6593 by US mail. Closely resembled an official IRS form. Said an incorrect business code was used to describe my primary business activity, & that I should complete & submit this form along with a check for $107, payable to US corporate classifications.

Requested a “tax like form” because my EIN was apparently filed with the wrong business code. The “form” was Form 6593. Requested my personal information and bogus questions with my signature at the end. Wanted $107

Property Records CA uses deed/property record info that is publicly available, however in their letter includes a warning of a $2,000 fine and false imprisonment while requesting $121.50 to receive a copy of the property record that was already requested. They are preying on widows, widowers and survivors. They add no value and make their documentation appear clerical in nature and threaten you with fines or imprisonment. There is small print stating they are not a government agency.

Said I need to pay $107 by July 27, 2024 to make sure my EIN is still valid. They also had a questionnaire asking me about my business, what I’m selling, websites etc. I knew it was scam when I saw the California address and looked it up myself.

Report

Scammer called pretending to be the Los Angeles police department. Said the caller had a bench warrant out for his arrest as he did not show up for a jury summons. Recited back the address the jury summons was delivered and signed for (was callers old address for 20 years prior). They said he had to come in and verify signature stating that the jury summons signed was not in fact his. Said he had to do this immediately as there is a warrant out for his arrest. Told caller her can either go to the Burbank Police Station or a kiosk near our current location to freeze the bench warrant. Once the bench warrant was frozen, we could go to the police station and pay a fine to verify signature for $3000. Once signature was verified to be fraudulent, we would be reimbursed. We went to said kiosk while still on the phone with the scammer and it turned out to be a CoinStar kiosk inside of a Ralphs market. He then told the caller to put in a series of number into the machine. The machine then prompted for payment. When told this, the scammer told caller to put in a $1 or anything to bypass that screen. Caller then said he did not feel comfortable doing that and said he would go to the police station next door. The scammer said that was fine but he should take a lawyer with him as he will get arrested if he steps into a police station. Once at the station, police officer verified that that was a scam and caller had a clean record.

I applied for a Global Entry not realizing the website was scam as it looked like the actual Global Entry portal. I paid $149.95 for the fee and later I mentioned to a friend. He immediate confirmed the fee is $100.00 not $149.95. He made me realize I was scammed.

I went on the Wisconsin dfI.gov site to dissolve my LLC as I sold my business. I filled everything out and then when it came to payments, it directed me to that company for $250 so I paid it.

I contacted my lawyer to say that I’ve taken care of it and that it was $250 and he said it should only be $25 at the most so I called the company directly back and asked how they got on the Wisconsin government site. She had no answers for me. I said I just talked to my lawyer and you scammed me out of a lot of money she said I’ll return your money but we’re keeping $20 for credit card transaction so you better check into them.

Received a request on a seemingly official government document from "US Records Management" requesting a "beneficial ownership statement" for the filing fee of $119. They requested a check or money order made payable to "US Records Management". They included my LLC name and address on the document adding to the authenticity of it. They also included the penalties for non compliance and a respond by day 1 week after I had received the letter in the mail which I assume is to create a sense of urgency.
