Received letter in the mail that was designed to look like an official tax document identified as form 8061 EIN amendment Rev. June 2024. It had some questions to fill out pertaining to my new business I opened in this year. It requested a check for $107 and the letter said this was due by 12/20/2024. I received it on 12/14/2024. When I googled the form I saw no information about it, I only found information pertaining to a scam that described the same thing I'd experienced.

The letter came to my home address for my new business, saying it's "Form 8061" and that my EIN is incorrect and I need to fill out a questionnaire to fix it and send them $107 as a filing fee. The form looks very much like a government form and is well done. It said I have to send it by 12/18/2024.

After setting up an LLC in NYS, we received a number of letters from fake entities claiming we needed to send money to get business licensure by a certain date. The scam was interceded, but only just barely before the victim was to send checks in the mail.

Scammers include "Corporate Certificates" "NY Certificate Service" and "Business Posting Department" all with various NYS addresses
