He wanted my ss#. I told him I didn’t have it and then he wanted my driver’s license number. I then hung up. He said they were sending out new social security cards

Scammer is attempting to use an upcoming legal requirement (Corporate Transparency Act or CTA) to direct companies to enter personal information about their officers and directors into a web-portal (non-active) that is not the one set-up by the federal government to collect the required data under the Act. Scammer's use of the English language is excellent, they are citing fines for non-compliance. It all looks legit EXCEPT the "File By" date is listed as 12/20/2023 and the CTA start date is 1/1/2024 and their website to collect data has not yet been activated.

The scammer was suppose to help with business establishment with ERC.

I’m sure that I’m not their first nor last visit.

The scammer sent text messages saying that the money would be return via Apple Pay today 11/17/2023.

This person also did a lot of fraudulent PPP loans in that same city/state during the Pandemic charging fees from the loans. This person also was an employee of the IRS.

Sent a letter tp our llc with our llc name including a NOTICE ID # and a file by date of 12/3/2023. They asked for our tax ID # of LLC and I inputted mine and my 2 brothers names, social security numbers plus addresses and uploaded our drivers licenses (front and back). The letter states that this is a federal filing requirement and we must provide updated ownership info to avoid financial crimes. If we dont file this we could face 500.00 a day fines.

Referred to this website from another website for military buy back for Federal Service. This site requested name, phone, email, and birthdate. An email, a phone call that left a voicemail, and a text immediately came after I sent info. I texted that I needed my info to be deleted and that I did not want to be contacted by them via email, text, or phone.

Someone impersinating on of my friends on Facebook sent me a message and said they just got a government grant for $100,000 because of some issue she had with workmans comp.  They told me to follow a link and talk with a government agent named Larry Baker.  Larry asked me fo my full name, my gender, age, address, mother's maiden name, what my current job is, and what my monthly income was. He said he would process that information and then get back to me if I qualified for the grant. I cut off contact with Larry at this point because he said I had to give him my social security number and banking information to be able to move on towards the next step of the grant process.

Not the typical junk mail. Official looking with perforated paper and a "voucher" inside that looks like a check. Even has our lender listed, inside and on the front, and "secure document" markings.

The outside has: This notice is time sensitive ... Information for the mortgagee only .... County Deed Records .... Immediate response to this notice requested ... Lender Info: xxxxx Voucher Enclosed ... Signature Required

The inside has the typical: Final Notice, have not contacted, please call immediately.

My wife and I moved recently. I went to change my address and googled USPS Change of Address. The website I clicked said ‘Official Change Site’. It looks like the USPS website but I realized my mistake too late when my debit card was charged 179.95. I immediately called their help line and was told it was already processed but they could refund me minus the “processing fee” of 19.95. Fortunately I was refunded 160, however, this is clearly a scam. My mail was not being forwarded so I had to go to the actual USPS a week later go through the process again.

Application completed and interview questions answered. Sent a fake contract for position and personal information including bank information, identification numbers, and addresses to this email address. There was never a phone number to reach the "hiring manager" given and my husband who has been looking for work has fallen victim to this scam.
