Letter arrived in mail from United Business Regulations Department- I looked it up online and found the following:

Hoax

However, upon closer scrutiny, it became evident that this form was nothing more than a cleverly crafted hoax. The document emanated from an entity claiming to be the “United States Business Regulation Department.” However, upon investigation, it was revealed that no such department exists within the federal government.

Because of the United States Transparency Act, I MUST report ownership information. If I do not comply I can be fined up to $500 a day and $10,000 AND up to 2 years in prison.

The form sent me has no phone number or email address. To get to this page a phone number had to be entered. It is my number, not the scammer. The only information requestion on the letter I got was owners of my business, addresses, phone numbers, and to include $117.

I received a letter via postal mail containing an official looking form listed as "Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting". It had a notice ID, a "respond by" date, and a filing fee of $117. It listed "penalties for non compliance" for reporting false information or not reporting by the filing deadline as "up to $500 for each day that the violation continues or has not been remedied" and "up to $10,000 and/or face up to 2 years of imprisonment". The form requested Reporting Entity, EIN, Name, Phone Number, Email, Beneficial Owners, Signature, and Payment. It came with a self-addressed return envelope with the address "United Business Regulation, 1032 15ht St NW #364, Washington DC, 20005-1502". There was no phone number or website on the form.

I got a letter in the mail titled United States Business Regulations Department and it was addressed to the name I registered my business under when I filed for an LLC. The message that the letter was trying to convey was that I should scan the QR code at the bottom or go to the website URL next to it and provide information about the owner of the business; or in other words, provide information about myself. Before providing the instructions to do so however, it claims that this is a normal and benign notice, stemming from recent federal legislation that aims to proactively combat financial crimes.
