This is another scam letter claim. The paper wanted me to provide hthem with information on my business. This was received by mail. Strange things that raised the red flag.

1. No return street address on anything.

2. The phone number was a toll free 855.

3. Nothing about this " United Business Regulation" On Department os Comerse website.

4. Never heard of them before.

5. My business was closed almost two years ago.

NEVER TRUST ANYONE till you verify them.

Hope this Helps

Got a letter in the mail for my small business saying that I have a federal filing requirement. It told me that I'd be responsible for up to $10,000 if I didn't scan a QR code or go to their website to fill out information about my business.

First, the addressed it to my past business name. I scanned the qr code on the paper and the link was 404 not found. So I called the number, a man's voice says due to the change in filing requirements we understand the website you are trying to reach is down due to increased traffic. Please go to brd-portal.us/portal to complete your filing. On hold wait times may be higher than normal due to increase of traffic. If you need further assistance please stay on the line. And I hung up. I googled the other website and nothing really came up besides the bbv scam tracker so I knew 100% then it was a scam.

The scammer sent me a letter a few days ago, claiming that I have until 12/01/2023 to file, or else I'll be penalized $500 each day, have criminal fines up to $10,000, and could face up to 2 years of imprisonment. When I tried to go to the website provided in the letter, I was taken to a downed page. Their website doesn't exist. I refuse to use the QR code they have, because I don't want to be sent to any malicious sites.

The scammer sent a letter to my business on very official looking letterhead, but the email address looked suspicious immediately!

Claim that “reporting is mandatory”. Threat of fines of $500 per day up to $10,000 and or imprisonment if you don’t “reporting” your ownership of the named business.
