Notice with no address and a non working website says required federal filing in accordance with recent legislation enacted to combat financial crimes. And if I failed to file I would be charged $500.00 per day, criminal fines up to $10,000, and/or imprisonment for maximum 2 years. The so called paid stamp says it's from Hicksville, NY. Permit number 842.

I'm getting at least 3 or more calls each day from this company. I hang up and block the number after they say who it is. They keep calling from many different numbers. I'm on the Do Not Call list but they are still calling.

The scammer sent an envelope reading United Business Regulation Washington, District of Columbia. TIME SENSITIVE MAIL OPEN IMMEDIATELY, the letter inside with official looking letterhead from the United States Department of Records Management then below Business Filing Division Department of Records Management with a seal of a eagle flying carrying what looks like the flag in it claws and the american flag in the background black and white no color...located top left hand corner. The letter read for my sorority to mandatory file with the department of records management, if the sorority did not by the due date that was print we were subject to 500.00 per day, criminal fines of up to 10,000.00 and/or imprisonment for a maximum of two years.

I received a letter for each of my two businesses indicating that I needed to contact them to report at their site provided. In the letter was a paragraph stating: "Noncompliance with this mandatory reporting may incur severe penalties. Companies failing to submit the requisite report of providing false or misleading information may be subject to civil fines of up to $500 per day, criminal fines of up to $10,000 and/or imprisonment for a maximum of two years." I am a new business owner, so of course I tried to comply and when the website led nowhere I wanted to find out more about this.

I think it may have been a "say yes" scam in my opinion. I received a voice mail supposedly from Humana on my cell requesting that I call back the following number 833-228-0668 to receive important information about my healthcare coverage, which incidently, I just signed up for Humana Medicare Advantage for 2024 period. I called back the number and an animated voice called be by my first name when it answered then asked me if I was James. I said yes. It then asked for my date of birth and I had a feeling it was a scam. I called Humana customer service and after looking up 833-228-0668 the rep said she couldn't find that number anywhere in their service directory and sent my story to the appropriate Humana department to investigate further. Thus my report.

Stated that I had an outstanding hospital bill prior to 2012 in a county that I didn’t reside in. I actually was out of state during the period of time that they indicated. Person was forceful and rude and used fear tactics to try to persuade me to pay a large amount of money immediately.

There was no address, e-mail or website. It offers two free airline tickets, 2 nights at a hotel and a $100 dinner gift card if you call right away. I imagine when you call they ask for money. All you have to do is attend a showcase.

The scammer sent a letter with inflammatory language regarding the implementation of the new Corporate Transparency Act. The scammer directed the recipient to a website that is NOT connected with the agency implementing this new law. The proper URL, for the record is: https://boiefiling.fincen.gov/

The proper agency, for the record, is the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

Presumably, if the recipient clicked on the QR code to go to the scammer's site, they would have been prompted to pay a fee to file the required report - which should otherwise be free!
