Report

I received a letter addressed to my sole proprietor L LC, indicating that I needed to conduct mandatory beneficial ownership reporting. It says it is form 4022 from the United States business regulations department. It asks for a check or money order made payable to the US business regulations department and they include a self addressed envelope, stamped. It is a single piece of paper with nothing printed on the back.

I received a letter that looks very much like a government entity. Upon opening the letter, the form looks very similar to an IRS form but I have never heard of Form 4022 Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting. The letter has a barcode on the top right hand side, below it it has a notice Id, a respond by date and filing fee of $118. They request the fee be sent via mail on an address envelope with the provided address and only check or money order option made payable to US Business Regulations Dept. It has a lot of legal jargon that resembles something legitimate and has an excerpt for "penalties for non compliance". The form itself asks for the name of the entity, submitters full name, phone number email and title (owner, officer or Paid preparer). Additionally, there are fields for "beneficial owner" Name, Middle initial, Last name and address. There are four separate spaces asking for the same information for "beneficial owners" 2,3 and 4. Only once signature required from the reporting entity. At the bottom of the form is has jargon regarding penalties of perjury, the amount of the fee, a mall bar code and the revision date of the document, December 2023.

The letter states Form 4022 that I need to report my business entity with different fields to fill in-including employment id number, my name, etc. I no longer have the business, so I knew this letter was fishy.

I sent off a personal check in the mail on 02/20/24 for $117.00 to the United Business Regulation Department for my LLC. The check was posted by my bank on 02/28/24. On 03/25/24 I received another form 4022 in the mail for another $117.00 that's due by 04/05/24. I Googled the business to see if I could speak with someone about the fact that I already submitted a payment. I was shocked to learn that there's NO TELEPHONE NUMBER LISTED FOR THIS BUSINESS, NO HOURS OF OPERATION, NO WEBSITE. ON THE ENVOLOPE IT STATES THAT IT'S TIME SENSITIVE MAIL OPEN IMMEDIATELY. THEY DIDN'T EVEN PROVIDE THEIR FULL ADDRESS; United Business Regulation Washington, District of Columbia AND IT HAS A POSTAGE PAID IN NY.

received form 4022 in the mail, advised that I would receive fines if I didn't pay. I paid in January and then received another notice to pay again in late March. That caused me to look into it further. I was trying to find a phone number to call them online and came across the ScamPulse.com scam for the address I provided. They had me address the money order to US Business Regulations Dept

This is actually the second letter I got in the mail the first one I've already figured was a scam but it was basically set up exactly the same way this one is. They talk about me having to put down who the beneficial owners are of my company and ask some personal information on through this little form and talking about $117 filing fee. It's a form 4022 mandatory beneficial ownership reporting. The last one was mandatory 2 and threatened to have all kind of penalties and daily fees and jail time and all of that listed on the form. I'm calling bull[censored]! As far as filling out this online form, they did not provide an email or a phone number so I put the phone number down as all nines because it required some kind of phone number. Like I said this is the second attempt that they've made on me and I'm just a little handyman.

I’m the director of a charitable nonprofit. I did not call the phone number in the letter received, nor did I scan the QR Code.

The ink seemed faded and the law it claimed was recently enacted was not cited re prevention of financial crimes.
