They were posing as a United States government site designed to accept the BOIR filing that is required by law to make. Not only did i lose money, but i am not in compliance with the regulations.

I do not answer unknown numbers and a voice message was left. I was at work and didn’t listen to it yet. Then my dad calls that “cook county” called him looking for me. The same number that called me and I didn’t answer. He said I was not available and hung up. I then checked my voice messages and it stated a name and that she is a processor with cook county assigned to serve me with documents tomorrow between 3-5pm and that I have a court date scheduled and if they can’t get a hold of me it is recorded and it can have consequences and courts case will proceed without me. She told me to call back the filing parties office which was the same number she was calling from and provided me with a case number. I then called back the number another lady answered and I explained the message I received and I asked what this was about.

She asked what my name was and I gave it to her and that now she could proceed with giving me information. Before she had the last 4 digits of my SS and she made me confirm it. Then she said that this is in regards to an unpaid small loan from 2012 with compass bank and another bank. i said i never had a loan ever and someone must have stolen my identity then. She provided me with a date back in 2012 and then 2015 and 2017 again. she provided me with an old home address for n Texas which I did live back in 2012 and that they had supporting documents of my id and social. i said this must be fraud and how to file a claim. she said once i receive the documents everything will be explained to me and how to report if i think this is fraud. she said is…Chicago....your current address? I said yes and if i will be home tomorrow between 3-5pm. i said yes. then I researched that number and nothing popped up just that it is a toll free number. Then I called the cook county office phone from their website site and they told me that they do not have a case number with that number I gave them….now I am scared that someone is coming tomorrow to maybe rob or god knows do what???….i am calling my aldermans office and report what happened and they also filed a report with that number and let cool county know. Then I call my local police office to let them know as well and they said not to open the door if someone does show up and call them about a suspicious person is on my property. So all this happened today and I will see what really will happen tomorrow - I guess! .i also told cook county that someone seems to be scamming in their name with this phone number and if they have received calls about potential scams? They just answered no and were not further interested. …i just want to report this incident somewhere and luckily my alderman office did so and now I am reporting it on here as well.

I attempted to file the BOI for my business. Doing a quick google search I came to boi.com. I was rushing to get it done and didn't think twice when I was asked to pay $349 for this essential government-required filing. After making the payment, I was informed by a friend that they did not have to pay when filing. After checking with my accountant, I realized I'd been a victim of their fraudulent advertising. On their home page there is no mention that this is a free service provided by the government. This is simply a middle man operation taking money for something that it easily done by any business owner.

Letter says business has a reporting obligation under new federal legislature aimed at preventing financial crimes. Says I must provide updated ownership for the above listed entity. Says this information will help curb financial crimes, such as money, laundering, and terrorism, financing by augmenting transparency, in corporate structures.

The letter is stating we are required to file a Mandatory Ownership Information Reporting for our LLC. It is on letterhead from the United States Business Regulations Department. Looks very real.

I received a letter in the mail that appeared to be coming from the United States Business Regulations Department. Corporate Transparency Act Division, Processing, and Filing center. It told me about the Corporate Transparency Act, why it was in effect, and how I had to go and register my company or be fined $500—a day up to $10,000. So I went to the website in the letter, but this was supposed to be a federal law enacted to enhance corporate transparency. The letter told me to go to [email protected]. When I went to that website, it didn't work, so I called 1-855-260-6959, and a gentleman at that number told me to go to Brdportal.Us/portal. There, I answered a whole bunch of questions, and then I had to make a payment, and the payment was for $71.44.

I received a letter from UNITED STATES BUSINESS REGULATIONS DEPARTMENT, stating that I contact them on the account of FinCEN. That I am fostering transparency and accountability to combat illicit financial activities. I tried understanding that this company is saying that I failed to pay some fee. I tried to connect threw the website but nothing. Then I tried the U.S.B.R Depart., that is when I seen it on the ScamPulse.com website. I read that this is a scam. This company needs to be stopped!!!

A friend sent me a link to a government grant on facebook messenger saying she got 50,000 from them. I asked if she got paid, she said yes. So I bit on it and bit hard. They got all my info. I mean picture ID social security number. I mean everything. They can destroy me and probably will.

They called multiple times from this number but each time I attempted to verify who they are before giving personal information they hang up. They claim to be calling to fill out the application for student loan forgiveness.

The company calls and stated I received money from the government grant for free. They advise me that I am to send money by wire. The calls are annoying as this is a scam.
